Subhead: Fishermen struggle to catch fish due to enigmatic 30.16-kilometer barrier off Tangerang’s coast

Byline: CNN Indonesia

Body:

In a puzzling turn of events, fishermen in Tangerang, Banten are grappling with a new challenge – an enigmatic barrier stretching 30.16 kilometers along the coastline, making it difficult for them to catch fish. The barrier, made of bamboo or stakes, stands about 6 meters tall and was first reported by locals on August 14, 2024.

The Banten Provincial Marine and Fisheries Office (DKP) confirmed the barrier’s existence, revealing it spans six districts, affecting numerous villages. The affected districts include Kronjo, Kemiri, Mauk, Sukadiri, Pakuhaji, and Teluknaga, with a total of 3,888 fishermen and 502 aquaculture farmers impacted.

Eli Susiyanti, the head of DKP Banten, disclosed that the barrier is located within a zone designated for public use, as outlined in Banten Provincial Regulation No. 1/2023 on the Spatial Plan of Banten Province for 2023-2043. The barrier cuts through areas zoned for ports, fisheries, tourism, energy management, and aquaculture, and even intersects with a proposed offshore reservoir initiative by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas).

Despite multiple inspections by joint teams from DKP, the Indonesian Navy, the Indonesian Police, and the Tangerang Regency Fisheries Office, no permits or authorizations for the barrier have been found. Neither the central nor local governments claim responsibility for its construction.

Direktur Perencanaan Ruang Laut (KKP) Suharyanto admitted that the barrier is illegal, as no permits have been issued. While the Ombudsman is currently investigating the matter, the possibility of the barrier being part of a land reclamation project cannot be ruled out. However, any such project would require proper authorization and environmental assessments.

Fishermen and aquaculture farmers in the affected areas are now calling for immediate action to remove the barrier, fearing it may cause further damage to their livelihoods and the marine ecosystem.

Headline:
Mysterious 30-KM Seawall Appears in Banten Coast; Origin Still a Mystery

Subhead:
The enigmatic barrier stretches across 6 districts, disrupting fisheries and tourism, but origin and permits remain unknown.

Article:

A colossal mystery unfolds along the Banten coast as a 30.16-kilometer (km) seawall has emerged, spreading across six districts and causing uncertainty among locals and authorities alike. Stretching from the districts of Kronjo, Kemiri, Mauk, Sukadiri, Pakuhaji, to Teluknaga, the seawall, made of materials like bamboo and cerucuk (a type of wood), towers at an approximate height of 6 meters.

The presence of this massive structure was first reported by locals on August 14, 2024. However, both local and central governments have expressed bewilderment, claiming no knowledge of its origin or ownership. Despite its size and obvious impact on the environment, no permits or authorization have been found for its construction.

The seawall’s appearance has brought challenges for local fishermen, making it difficult for them to catch fish. The seawall traverses through vital zones, including fishing grounds, tourism areas, and even planned locations for a future dam initiative by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas).

Eli Susiyanti, the head of Banten’s Maritime and Fisheries Agency (DKP), admitted that initial inspections revealed a 7-km seawall in early September. However, subsequent investigations found the seawall had grown to a staggering 30 km in length. "We’re still investigating the source and legitimacy of this structure," Eli stated at a discussion held in Jakarta.

Adding to the intrigue, Suharyanto, the Director of Coastal Space Planning at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), expressed that they were unaware of the seawall’s origin. He mentioned that an investigation was underway, led by the Ombudsman, to shed light on this enigma.

The KKP Director further noted that any coastal reclamation projects would require proper permits and ecological assessments, which have not been provided in this case. The origin and purpose of this mysterious seawall remain a puzzle, leaving the coastal communities of Tangerang, Banten, in a state of disarray.

Mysterious 30-KM Sea Wall Emerges in Tangerang, Banten: Government Clueless about Illegitimate Owner

Subheadline:

Fishermen face difficulties due to the sudden appearance of the 6-meter high bamboo wall stretching across 6 districts.

Article:

JAKARTA, CNN INDONESIA — A mysterious 30.16-kilometer (KM) sea wall, made of bamboo or cerucuk, has suddenly appeared along the coastline of Tangerang Regency, Banten. Neither the local nor central government knows who the illegitimate owner of this structure is, leaving local fishermen scrambling to find fish and raise alarms about their livelihoods.

móEli Susiyanti, the Head of the Marine and Fisheries Department (DKP) of Banten Province, revealed that the 6-meter high wall extends across six districts and numerous villages, affecting around 3,888 local fishermen and 502 marine farmers. The wall stretches from several villages in Kecamatan Kronjo and Kecamatan Kemiri, passing through Kecamatan Mauk, Kecamatan Sukadiri, Kecamatan Pakuhaji, and ending in Kecamatan Teluknaga.

"The fishermen are facing difficulties finding fish due to this mysterious wall," Eli explained during a discussion on ‘Sea Wall Issues in Tangerang Banten’ at the Gedung Mina Bahari IV in Jakarta on Tuesday (1/7), as reported by Detikfinance.

The wall’s existence was first reported by locals on August 14, 2024, prompting a DKP team to investigate five days later. They initially found evidence of unauthorized sea wall construction up to 7 kilometers long. A joint team from DKP, the Marine Police, and other relevant agencies returned to the site on September 4-5 and confirmed that there were no permits issued by the local sub-district heads or village chiefs for the construction.

Eli further disclosed that the wall is located in a communal area, as outlined in Banten Province’s Regional Regulation (Perda) Number 1 of 2023 regarding the Spatial Plan for Banten Province (2023-2043). The wall runs through various zones, including sea ports, fishing grounds, tourism areas, fish port zones, energy management zones, and sea farming zones. It also overlaps with a proposed off-shore reservoir project initiated by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas).

Director of Marine Spatial Planning at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), Suharyanto, acknowledged the existence of the 30-kilometer wall but noted that the ministry had not identified the builder. He mentioned that the Ombudsman was currently investigating the matter, but he could not confirm if the wall was built for land reclamation purposes. He emphasized that any such projects require proper licensing.

"We cannot confirm if it’s for land reclamation purposes. During the licensing process for marine spatial planning, we require strict ecological requirements to be met," Suharyanto said.

The appearance of this mysterious sea wall in Tangerang has left both local and central government officials puzzled, highlighting the need for immediate clarification and action to protect the interests of the affected fishermen and the wider environment.
