Thailand Tells Indonesia It Will Tackle Illegal Fishing

Joko Widodo and Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha pledged on Thursday to solve the ongoing illegal fishing issues in Indonesian waters. Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Sofyan Djalil and Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti were also present during the meeting.

“Thailand says it will solve illegal fishing issues and will sanction the companies conducting illegal fishing,” Susi told the state-run news agency Antara on Thursday.

There has yet to be a written commitment. Thailand did, however, say at the Asian-African Maritime Forum on Monday that it was committed to installing vessel-monitoring systems to track boat movements.

Joko Widodo has made illegal fishing a significant plank of his commitment to reform, emphasizing that Indonesia loses billions of dollars to foreign vessels encroaching on Indonesian waters.

America has lots of opportunistic lawyers.

When the lawsuits are settled, the lawyers always get the biggest share of the loot.

The victims generally don't get much.

There is no such thing as the lawyers providing a public or social service.

I don't really care about the company, and lawyers getting fortune out of this situation. What's important is the company start getting fierce respond from their angry and conscious consumers for their bad decision of bringing slave catch fish to the consumer table.

This is a good development. The consumers will get their right to buy good quality, certified products that doesn't utilize slavery tactics in its process. The company will hopefully drop their stained suppliers out of their supply chain. And we hope this situation will put enough pressure to reduce slavery in fishery industry to a very minimum level.

Indonesia’s War On Illegal Fishing: Impact On China – Analysis

Indonesia’s war on illegal fishing, particularly by foreign fishing vessels in Indonesian waters, has not only resulted in huge costs to China’s fishing industry. It has also cast a shadow on the future prospect of China’s Maritime Silk Road Initiative and Indonesia’ Global Maritime Fulcrum ambition.

Since Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo took office in October last year, he has made the “Global Maritime Fulcrum” strategy as the centrepiece of his administration. One of the key elements of the “Maritime Fulcrum” is to revitalise the domestic fishing industry. This has started with a crackdown on foreign fishing vessels in Indonesian waters as Jakarta claims that the country loses up to US$20 billion revenue per year due to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Indonesia’s crackdown on foreign fishing vessels has had a far-reaching impact on China, not only its fishing industry but also the country’s 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) Initiative. It has also an indirect impact on Indonesia’s Global Maritime Fulcrum ambition.

Budi Waseso to Sink Drugs Dealers' Ship

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - National Narcotics Agency (BNN) head Comr. Gen. Budi “Buwas” Waseso said Wednesday, September 9, that the BNN would work with the Indonesian Military and the community to prevent drugs trafficking via small ports in Indonesia.

Buwas also said that the cooperation with the Indonesian Military would be effective in preventing drugs trafficking. The former National Police’s criminal investigation corps (Bareskrim) director added that he would sink ships carrying narcotics to Indonesia.

“Ship sinking would not only be imposed to illegal fishers, but also to ships carrying drugs and their crews,” he said.

Buwas explained that several ports in Sumatra, Sulawesi and Java had been the gates for narcotics to enter the country. He revealed that the Sunda Kelapa port in North Jakarta was one of them.

Buwas hopes that the cooperation between the BNN, the National Police, the Indonesian Military and communities would be able to free Indonesia from narcotics. “My target is to eradicate all narcotics networks,” he added.

Fishermen feared drown after colliding with Indonesia marine police's boat
By ADIB POVERA

- 14 September 2015 @ 10:20 AM KUCHING: Two Malaysian fishermen feared drown when their fishing boat collided with the Indonesian marine police's patrol boat on Friday. The incident occurred within the Indonesia borders near Tanjung Datu in Sematan near here at about 8pm. The victims were with four other fishermen when their fishing boat had entered the Indonesian waters and grazed by the patrol boat. It is learnt that the weather was dark, which might be the reason on why the fishing boat ended up in the Indonesia waters. Sources said the officers on the patrol boat managed to rescue four of the six fishermen while two others, aged 35 and 45, were still missing. Sources also said the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) had deployed its assets to look for the missing fishermen. The Sarawak MMEA commander First Admiral Ismaili Bujang Pit is scheduled for a press conference over the incident at 2.30pm today
