The era of
industrialization with Blue Economy Approach proclaimed by the Ministry of
Maritime and Fishery [K K PI had evidently enhanced management of marine and fishery
resources. In short, development of marine and fishery by Blue Economy
principle had been fruitful.
For that matter, it had
been KKP's commitment that Blue Economy be implemented in various policy
execution, especially in the development and acceleration program of KKP where
industrialization would be prioritized in minapolitan zones. Synergy of
minapolitan development, industrialization and blue economy was for
acceleration and strengthening of added value toward sustainable blue economy.
The Minister of KKP Sharif
Cicip Sutardjo stated in Jakarta on Tuesday [6/5] that he underscored the
principle of Blue Economy in line with promotion and industrialization in
maritime and fishery business. The Minister stated that blue economy became a
corridor so the process of industrialization being exercised would stick to the
concept of natural resources conservation. Blue Economy is a new approach to
continued development and fine tuning of the concept.
Sharif explained that the
Blue Economy Concept was among others learning from nature especially the
process of eco-system or known as the logic of eco-system, creativity and
endless innovation. Sharif also elaborated on the principle of Blue Economy
among others efficiency in natural resource exploration, the zero waste
concept, and social inclusion.
Sharif also disclosed there
were eight factors which determined success in development of the maritime and
fishery sector, namely continuity of fish resources, infra structure
availability, development of innovation and technology application. Furthermore
high quality marine and fishery, competent Human Resources, potential market
and investment support, supportive Government regulation.
On broader sense, Sharif
elaborated the Government was determined to spur on pro-Green policy which was
rated as part of the sustainable development strategy and Green Economy
implementation which was pro-growth, pro- jobs and pro-poor. He said that one
of the points was the glass house effect reduction and to increase carbon
reserves. The program was implemented by way of tree planting and prohibition
of primary forest deforestation.
Minister Sharif explained
that to support the program KKP had legislated Regulation of the Ministry of
KKP No PER.12/MEN/2012 on Hooked Fish Business on Open Sea in Indonesian
waters. As known, open sea fishery included the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean
which could be exercised by using ships of 30 GT which should be registered by
the Government.
Sharif underscored that the
development of industrialized hooked fish must be synergized with the blue
economy application. This platform was expected to be a transformation process
to promote productivity and added value of fishery subsector the sustainable
way. Moreover today production output of hooked fish came to 5.5 million
tons/year. Certainly not only the production volume which increased but also
the added value as well as the positive impact on people's employment and
welfare.
The Government, Sharif
said, would facilitate convenience to fishermen to support fishing in the open
water; such as among others to allow catch to be unloaded in foreign harbors on
condition that they report to the headquarters port in Indonesia and present
document of transaction. This policy was adopted in accordance with data
collecting of fish resources and to anticipate over fishing [above quota] as
regulated internationally. (SS)
