Indonesia Seals 30.16-Km Coastal Barrier in Tangerang, President Prabowo‘s Initiative

Article:

In a significant move, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has sealed a coastal barrier stretching 30.16 kilometers in the Tangerang regency’s territorial waters. This directive comes straight from President Prabowo Subianto.

Pung Nugroho Saksono, the Director General of Monitoring and Control of Marine and Fisheries Resources (PSDKP), revealed that the barrier, spanning the waters of six sub-districts, was sealed following instructions from President Prabowo. The order was initially given to Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MKP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono and subsequently passed down to him for execution.

Saksono, who is often referred to as ‘Ipunk,’ stated, "This has already gone viral, and President Prabowo has already issued instructions. This morning, I received a direct order from the Minister to proceed with the sealing. The country cannot afford to lose this."

The sealed barrier was found to be installed without a Permit for Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning (PKKPRL) approval, causing distress to local fishermen due to hindered access to the sea.

Ipunk emphasized that such barriers disrupt marine traffic and vowed to take stern action against those responsible. He provided a 20-day window for the removal of the barrier, after which the authorities would dismantle it themselves. If the barrier is not removed within the given timeframe, it may result in hefty fines.

"Pagar laut di Indonesia tidak boleh dipasang seperti itu. Pasti ada denda segala macamnya karena negara ini punya aturan. Jadi kami waktu 7 km itu sudah kami lakukan pemeriksaan, kita sampaikan siapa penanggung jawabnya belum ada. Tahu-tahu akhirnya tahun ini kita dapat berita sudah segini. Terpaksa kami segel dan tindakan ini merupakan tindakan paksaan pemerintah dalam hal ini hentikan dulu. Kita hentikan, jangan lagi melakukan pemagaran di situ selanjutnya kita kasih waktu 20 hari selesai setelah itu kita ratakan," Ipunk emphasized firmly.
