(Tempo) Minister Susi: Indonesia must be assertive in eradicating illegal fishing practice

12/12/2018



Minister of Fisheries and Marine Affair Susi Pudjiastuti, said that Indonesia must be assertive in eradicating illegal fishing practice. She said that it is no longer an issue over bilateral relation.

"We have to step up. We will fight not only China and Thailand, but also the United States - if they dare to steal our fishes," said Susi.

Susi expected Indonesia to be free from illegal fishing practice in the next couple of years. "Therefore, we need to be assertive, without considering [the illegal fihsermen] country of origin," Susi said.

Susi explained that the assertive measures had generated positive impacts in terms of eradicating illegal fishing. In Natuna waters, for example, the number of foreign fishing boats have decreased, from the previous 1,200 boats to 138 boats.
