Indonesia Maritime defence and security issue

Have you seen the picture I posted? The pond is in glass house, where everything is controlled by computer. That is new. The taste of such fish may not be as good as free caught one but it is cheaper. And If you go to any supermarket in Germany, unless it is a special fish store, you will find 90 % are aquaculture fish, be fresh or frozen. You have the choice. Do you want pay double for free caught fish? If yes, then ok. For me, It is no difference in planting rice or fish.

Raising fish in industrial scale makes fish affordable for everyone. Aquaculture is the future. Our fishermen should stop illegal fishing but raise shrimps and fish at home in such glass houses and export to Europe. with zero import tariff next year as we signed free trade deal with them recently. That is a huge market for our fish industry, I am pretty sure.

ASEAN aquaculture production in 2014:
Indonesia: 14,375,282 tons
Vietnam: 3,411,391 tons
Philippines: 2,337,605 tons
Thailand: 934,758 tons
Malaysia: 521,014 tons

Despite that data we still have illegal fishing problems coming from our own fishermen until today. It's easy to get caught in optimism when you only see the surface of the problem. Illegal fishing has caused loss of $7 billion for Indonesia annually, that's already like 15-20% of Viet Nam government annual income, certainly not a light matter.

If Viet Nam can solve this problem in 4 years as you said, then it will make our job easier. But for now we will continue to protect our water no matter if it will take 4, 8, 20 or how many years for your government to solve.

Indonesia, China to jointly combat fish poaching

Nusa Dua, Bali (ANTARA News) - Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti said her ministry is planning to cooperate with China to overcome illegal fishing by Chinese citizens in Indonesian waters. "We are planning to cooperate with the countries of origin of fish poachers, one of which is China. Poachers do not represent countries, but crimes," the minister said when contacted on Thursday.

The cooperation was established so that China would take action against its citizens, who fish illegally in the Indonesian waters, Susi said.

"Without the assistance of China, it is impossible for us to eradicate the sea crimes in our waters," she added.

Susi pointed out three development pillars in Indonesias maritime development, namely protection of Indonesian waters, assurance of the continuation of Indonesias marine resources and prosperity of the Indonesian people.

As an island country with water areas greater than its land area, Indonesia is prone to illegal fishing and the most dangerous one is when the sea is used as a place for committing a crime, particularly fish poaching.

Currently, she said, Indonesia is doing its best to fight against organized transnational crimes, such as illegal fishing.

Based on the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2015, Illegal, Unreported and Unregistered (IUU) fishing stole the world fish resources by up to 90.1 percent. Indonesia suffered economic losses from IUU fishing amounting US$20 million per annum.

"Not only that, illegal fishing also harmed the interests of small fishermen," Susi said.

On Wednesday, Minister Susi shared her views on fighting illegal fishing at the 85th General Assembly of the Interpol here.

She spoke at the conference about various efforts taken by her ministry to eradicate Illegal Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IUU), by setting up an IUU fishing task force called Task Force 115.

"They were very enthusiastic when they heard about the Task Force 115, which is manned by personnel from several institutions, such as the Water Police, the Navy, the Prosecutor Office and the Sea Security Agency (Bakamla)," Susi told delegates of the conference, which was held at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC).

Several delegates from Africa even requested Indonesia to assist in handling illegal fishing cases on the African continent.

"The Task Force 155 is an example of task forces needed by many countries," she said.

During the session, Susi said she did not hesitate in calling for firm action against fish poachers. "Illegal fishing is a theft in the Indonesian waters. So, I have to act upon it," she added.

According to the minister, the matter imparted momentum to improving the legal certainty regarding fish poaching in Indonesia.

"I think the reform momentum should be utilized now. The government is taking actions to provide legal certainties through legal and regulation reforms. This has given us the energy to move on. Now is the time for us to provide legal certainty," she said.

The minister further said the weakness of Indonesia so far is its shortage of legal certainties. "Now we provide legal certainties to those who commit violations and we sink them (illegal fishing boats). It should not be considered a cruel action. After all, many have demanded that we should provide legal certainties."

Susi added that people must be happy when the government takes firm actions and not adversely complain. "We have to emphasize this so that thieves do not disturb the economy of this country.

Used 'SAF' camouflage uniforms found among smuggled goods seized by Indonesian Navy in Batam

The Indonesian Navy on Wednesday (Nov 9) seized a truckload of used camouflage uniforms with SAF, or Singapore Armed Forces, tags on them.

The SAF attire included the green digital or pixelated camouflage uniforms first issued in 2008, as well as an older version with overlapping splotches of black, brown and green, both commonly referred to by servicemen as the No. 4 dress.

Tanjung Pinang Naval Base commander, First Admiral S Irawan said a quick response team from Indonesia's Western fleet had spotted a vessel on Wednesday, unloading goods near Pulau Galang, an island located 40km southeast of Batam.

He told The Straits Times on Thursday that there were a total of 19 truckloads of smuggled goods ranging from used electronic equipment, such as television sets and washing machines. One among the 19 trucks carried only military attire, including combat boots, that he believed were SAF-issued items.

The admiral said the Navy has yet to determine the alleged owner of the goods but the boat captain and truck drivers are now being held for questioning in Tanjung Pinang.

"The question now is why that much military attire is being sent to Batam...we will investigate," said the admiral.

The unauthorised sale of SAF uniforms or equipment is an offence under military law in Singapore. Those guilty of misappropriation or theft of SAF property can be jailed for up to three years.

Yes it was KKP Patrol Boat, but the official statement was issued by Bakamla.. I think Bakamla is the coordinator of the patrols across different agencies.

Do you have pics of the new Orcas in action?
