Indonesia speeds up marine boundary delimitation with Malaysia
Indonesian President Joko Widodo has appointed Ambassador Eddy Pratomo as his special envoy in an effort to speed up the delimitation of maritime boundaries with Malaysia.
The appointment comes as a result of a meeting between the Indonesian President and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak during the former’s visit to Malaysia from February 5-7 and meetings between the two countries’ Foreign Ministers in early 2015.
Accordingly, the two countries will send their special envoys to participate in the delimitation of maritime boundaries.
Eddy Pratomo was formerly Indonesian Ambassador to Germany and Malaysian special envoy Tan Sri Mohd Radzi Abdul Rahman was previously the Ambassador to Vietnam and Japan.
Under the agreements reached between the leaders of the two nations, the special envoys will take political, legal and technical aspects into account.

Palau burns Vietnamese boats caught fishing illegally
The tiny Pacific nation of Palau, fighting a rising tide of illegal fishing in its waters, has set fire to four boats of Vietnamese caught poaching sea cucumbers and other marine life in its waters.
In this photo taken Wednesday, June 10, 2015 and released by the Government of the Republic of Palau, Vietnamese fishermen sit on their fishing ships anchored at the Marine Law Enforcement Division Port in Koror, Palau after being caught fishing illegally in the waters of the country. The tiny Pacific nation of Palau, fighting a rising tide of illegal fishing in its waters, has set fire to four boats of Vietnamese caught poaching sea cucumbers and other marine life in its waters. Palau’s president, Tommy Remengesau Jr., said the boats were burned Friday morning, June 12, 2015. He hopes to turn most of the island nation’s territorial waters into a national marine sanctuary, banning commercial fishing and exports apart from limited areas to be used by domestic fishermen and tourists.

Palau’s president, Tommy Remengesau Jr., said the boats were burned Friday morning. He hopes to turn most of the island nation’s territorial waters into a national marine sanctuary, banning commercial fishing and exports apart from limited areas to be used by domestic fishermen and tourists.
“We wanted to send a very strong message. We will not tolerate any more these pirates who come and steal our resources,” Remengesau said in a phone interview with The Associated Press from Washington, D.C., where he was visiting.
The country created the world’s first shark sanctuary in 2009, but until recently had only one patrol boat to help protect its great hammerheads, leopard sharks and more than 130 other species of shark and rays fighting extinction.
The four boats destroyed Friday were among 15 Palau authorities have caught fishing illegally in their waters since last year with loads of sharks and shark fins, lobsters, sea cucumbers and reef fish. Several of the boats that it seized, stripped of their fishing gear, are due to carry 77 crew members of the boats back to Vietnam.
Remengesau said that the stream of poachers showed that just stripping the rogue boats of their nets and confiscating their catches was not enough
“I think it’s necessary to burn the boats,” he said.

Indonesia Commits to Sustainable Tuna by End of 2015
16 June 2015
INDONESIA - The Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) has announced that by the end of 2015, the country's pole-and-line and handline tuna fisheries, for skipjack and yellowfin, will enter into full Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) assessment.
This move, alongside MMAF’s continued efforts to support and develop their fisheries, has been widely praised by NGOs.
The commitment comes on the back of the 4th International Coastal Tuna Business Forum (ICTBF), an annual event that brings key players in the market, government, NGOs and industry together.
The forum cemented on-going dialogue amongst stakeholders, resulting in the decision to enter MSC this year, announced by Saut Hutagalung, Director General of Fisheries Product Processing and Marketing at MMAF.
“The internationally respected MSC eco-label will provide a solid foundation for the long-term viability of our country’s traditional fishing communities and will lead to much improved market access for our responsibly-caught tuna,” said Saut Hutagalung.
Andrew Harvey, Country Director of International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF) commented: “IPNLF and our partners have been working closely with Saut Hutagalung and MMAF over recent years. MMAF, with NGO and industry support, have been active champions of their own fisheries, demonstrating the government’s commitment to sustainability and they deserve recognition for their dedication and hard work, in the same way that the fishers deserve recognition for theirs.”
At the ICTBF event, the Maldivian Minister of Fisheries and Agriculture, Dr Mohamed Shainee, called on Indonesia to partner with Maldives to push for better management at RFMO level, and offered his country’s support throughout the MSC process. Such cross-border support is especially notable when considering wide-ranging pelagic species like tuna.
The pole-and-line and hand-line fisheries in Indonesia are currently engaged in Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs), which have just undergone their annual review. The FIPs represent collaborative action between industry, MMAF and NGOs such as WWF-Indonesia, Masyarakat dan Perikanan Indonesia (MDPI), Fishing & Living, International Pole & Line Foundation (IPNLF) and the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP).
“MDPI, as an organisation which works closely with industry - specifically with fishermen, is hopeful with regards to this collaborative approach to potential MSC certification in Indonesia. The small-scale fishermen and the industries that support them need to get recognition for their good work towards sustainability over recent years, work which includes improving data, traceability and co-management in the communities,” said Aditya Utama Surono, Executive Director of MDPI.
The client for MSC certification will be Asosiasi Perikanan Pole & Line dan Handline Indonesia (AP2HI), a fishery association that acts as a unified voice for the country’s pole-and-line and handline industry.
Inaugurated a year ago at the 3rd ICTBF in 2014, AP2HI have quickly established themselves as a respected industry group and an active force in developing and promoting coastal tuna fisheries, alongside the NGOs operating in Indonesia.
MMAF have already advanced the commitment towards MSC by convening a stakeholder meeting in Jakarta on 3 June, this event clarified collective commitment to MSC from government and NGOs and outlined priority issues to be addressed over coming months and the roles and tasks of different organisations.

More vessels to be sunk, fishing firms to be closed
The Maritime Resources and Fisheries Ministry revealed on Monday that it would sink 19 more foreign vessels that were fishing illegally in Indonesian waters and freeze five fishing companies for tax evasion.
The director general of maritime resource and fishery supervision at the ministry, Asep Burhanuddin, said the 19 ships were among a total of 73 foreign vessels that have been processed in accordance with Indonesian law.
“Of the 19 ships that will be sunk, 13 are in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, 5 in Merauke, Papua, and 1 in Belawan, North Sumatra,” he said as quoted by kompas.com.
Of the 13 vessels located in Pontianak, 11 belong to Vietnamese fishing companies and 2 belong to Thai companies.
Asep said his division was waiting for a green light from the maritime resources and fishery minister for the sinking.
Since January 2015, the ministry has investigated more than 2,000 local and foreign ships in Indonesian waters and 73 were allegedly found to have fished illegally.
“Of the 73 vessels processed, 19 have been proven guilty of violating the law and we are waiting approval to sink them,” he said.
Separately, Minister of Maritime Resources and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti said the government would likely freeze the operation of five fishing companies for their failure to give accurate reports on their catches to the government.
“The five companies must soon stop their operations after their fishing licenses are frozen because of their failure to reveal financial reports to the government,” she said, adding that her ministry has coordinated with the Finance Ministry regarding the five companies’ legal violations.

Minister Revokes 15 Companies` Licenses
Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti has revoked licenses of about a dozen companies operating under six groups.
“Today, we revoked licenses of several companies, including those of Mabiru Grup and Dwi Karya. It has been reported [to the president],” Susi said at the Presidential Palace after meeting with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo on Monday, June 22, 2015.
Susi explained that the license revocation was due to illegal fishing and slavery practices committed by the companies. In addition, the companies also violated regulations concerning taxation. Dwi Karya, for instance, has hundreds of ships but only obtained licenses for 68 of them.
“Cases related to tax evasions have been handed over to the Finance Ministry,” Susi said.
According to Susi, Jokowi instructed her to improve the national fishing industry so that it would benefit Indonesian fishermen.

2 Malaysian illegal fishing boats seized by Kalimantan Water Police off the coast of Karang Unarang, Nunukan (24/6/2015)
East Kalimantan Water Police have detained two Malaysian-flagged ships (KM Rizky 02 & KM TW 2057) off the coast of Karang Unarang, Nunukan for not having proper documents.
"The two ships were seized over illegal fishing allegation," said Sr. Comm. Djarot Agung Riadi, Head of the Law Enforcement Sub-Directory of East Kalimantan Water Police on Wednesday, June 24, 2015. The Water Police had also confiscated 100 kilograms of fish and shrimp as evidence.
Djarot said that the two ships were also caught for using trawl, which is considered illegal because it could damage coral reefs.
Following the arrest, the ship owner will be charged with articles in the Fishery Law while the ships will be destroyed.

Eleven Indonesian pirates, who were arrested after hijacking the Malaysian vessel Zafirah in November 2012, will be extradited to Indonesia today via Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City on Saturday.
Source: Tuoi Tre News
Yesterday Colonel Cao Xuan Trang, deputy commander of the Border Guard of the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau, had a meeting with Colonel Guntur Setyanto from the Indonesian Police High Command and Indonesian Consul General in HCM City Rachmaida Ginting about the extradition.
A Vietnam marine police unit seized the pirates and rescued nine crew members of the ship 40 nautical miles off Vung Tau City on Novemner 22, after receiving a notice from the International Maritime Bureau in Malaysia, Colonel Trang told the Indonesian officials at the meeting.
Trang also said that during the investigation process, Vietnamese agencies detected three other people involved in the piracy, two of whom are Indonesian citizens.
The nine rescued crew members include four from Indonesia and five from Myanmar, the official said.
Colonel Guntur Setyanto said the culprits will be punished in accordance with the laws of Indonesia, while Consul General Rachmaida Ginting thanked Vietnamese concerned agencies for looking after the seized pirates.
The Consul General later visited the detainees at the Chi Linh border guard station in Vung Tau City. All of them were in normal health condition.
As previously reported, eleven pirates attacked and commandeered a Malaysian-flagged ship, forcing nine sailors to leave the ship in a life raft off Vietnam’s southern Vung Tau City on November 21, 2012.
The pirates then changed the ship’s name, which was painted on the vessel’s side, to Sea Horse to avoid detection.
They also changed the ship’s IMO (International Maritime Organization) identification number from 9016387 to 9016081, and destroyed some navigation and communications tools on the ship.
The nine sailors were rescued the same day and the pirates were arrested one day later.

Indonesia to deport 300 Myanmarese fishermen
Kamis, 25 Juni 2015 13:49 WIB |
Ambon, Maluku (ANTARA News) - The Immigration Office of Ambon, in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), will deport some 300 fishermen to their country of origin, Myanmar.
The identification of the immigrants was conducted on June 23 with the cooperation of the Embassy of Myanmar in Indonesia, Head of the Ambon Immigration office Nanang Koesdarjanto stated here on Thursday.
"The Myanmar embassy's staff came to Ambon after being contacted by the Myanmarese fishermen who required documents to return to their home country," he noted.
The embassy sent its staff to gather data from the immigrants to prepare their travel documents.
When the documents are ready, they will immediately be deported to Myanmar with the assistance of the IOM, the Ambon immigration office chief stated.
The immigrants are crew members of ships that are currently docked in Ambon.
They want to return to their country, as they are now practically jobless since their ships can no longer sail for fishing after the Indonesian government declared a moratorium on issuing licenses for foreign fishing ships in November 2014.
The number of foreign fishermen stranded on several remote eastern Indonesian islands has spiraled to four thousand, according to media reports.
Many are migrant workers abandoned by their boat captains after the government passed the moratorium, the media said quoting the IOM.

Minister Susi: Indonesian fishermen now catching man-sized tuna
Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti is the most popular (and memefied) of President Joko Widodo’s ministers, in large part due to her war against illegal fishing by foreign countries in Indonesia, a battle that has seen the Indonesian government sinking several foreign fishing vessel caught poaching in our waters
Recently Susi talked about the positive impact of her policies, one of which is that fishermen especially in Eastern Indonesia, have started to catch bigger fish. Much bigger.

— Susi Pudjiastuti (@susipudjiastuti) June 22, 2015 "Fishermen in the eastern part of Indonesia now catch tuna as big as a human," Susi said while chatting with reporters on Monday as quoted by Detik.
Susi then showed them several of the man-sized tuna she was talking about, some of which were transported by motorcycle to be sold in traditional markets.
Is it possible that Susi’s aggressive anti-poaching policies have actually helped fisherman find bigger fish in the sea, or is this just a big fish story? Either way, that’s a whole lot of sushi waiting to happen.

Wow!!! It's really a big catch..Minister Susi: Indonesian fishermen now catching man-sized tuna

I see this sinking policy has actually given a huge positive impact for our fishermen's families. Surely it takes a courage and strong commitment in combating these illegal fishing, because those illegal activities involves many large corporations and multi-nationals.. No matter how hard rejection made by the countries concerned, this policy should keep implemented in order to protect the sustainability of our marine resources, and the future's of our fishermens welfare... Long live, Susi !!!
