The House of Representatives (House) is currently discussing a Draft Bill on Marine Affairs (Draft Bill), which when enacted will be the pioneering legislation for Indonesia’s legal framework to govern maritime affairs. Sharif Cicip Sutardjo, Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, explained that the Draft Bill is also relevant and important to numerous existing legislation.
“It is important to enact the Draft Bill as it will house 23 other laws,” said the Minister on Tuesday.
The Minister further explained that the 23 other laws are of relevance to the functions and authorities of other ministries. For instance, the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Tourism and the Creative Economy, and Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.
Moreover, the Minister continued, the only legislation related to marine affairs ever issued is limited to governing the management of coastal areas and small islands, namely Law No. 27 of 2007, as amended by Law No. 1 of 2014, which is restricted to regulating Indonesia’s territorial waters (12 miles from the nearest coastline).
“This means that there are no provisions for areas outside the 12 miles, and therefore it is important the Draft Bill is realized by the House,” the Minister emphasized.
The Minister also stressed that food sourced from Indonesian marine areas and freshwater lakes is abundant. The total area that can potentially accommodate aquaculture in Indonesia is as much as 2.9 million hectares in internal waters, and 2.5 million hectares in offshore areas.
“Given these resources, we must adequately exploit them,” underlined the Minister.
Based on these considerations, the Minister expressed his hopes that the marine and fisheries sector will become a primary engine in motoring Indonesia’s economy.
Meanwhile, M. Riza Damanik, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Unity of Indonesian Traditional Fishermen, affirmed that the marine and fisheries sector is frequently neglected by the government.
“Marine affairs as a new mainstream is always the ‘underdog’ amongst other sectors, compared to mining and forestry,” said Mr. Damanik.
By reinstating a proper approach to marine and fishery affairs, continued Riza, the sea will bring positive impacts to the welfare of the general public.
