Indonesia the world’s largest fish producer in 2015: Minister

The government has increased measures to meet its target of catapulting the country to the top fish producer in the world in the coming six years.

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Fadel Muhammad said Wednesday, however, the achievement would require a change in the development program’s orientation from land to marine.

Fadel said Indonesia’s abundant fishery and maritime potential should be converted into huge foreign exchange reserves so the sector became the backbone of the country’s economy.

“We have projected that the country will emerge as the world’s biggest fish producer in 2015,” Fadel told a ceremony that marked the celebration of Nusantara (archipelago) Day in Makassar.

Fadel said the government expected the event to kick-start a new development strategy that relied on maritime resources.

“Fishermen and coastal-area residents have been part of the most impoverished and marginalized population despite maritime resource,” he said. “We want to change this.”

Also attending the ceremony was Coordinating Minister for People’s Welfare Agung Laksono and former fisheries minister Rokhmin Dahuri.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was scheduled to lead the celebration, but canceled due to another appointment.

Ocean Day

As a result of a United Nations General Assembly resolution passed in December 2008, World Oceans Day is now officially recognized by the UN as June 8th each year. The concept for a “World Ocean Day” was first proposed in 1992 by the Government of Canada at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, and it had been unofficially celebrated every year since then. Since 2002, The Ocean Project and the World Ocean Network have helped to promote and coordinate World Oceans Day events worldwide. We help coordinate events and activities with aquariums, zoos, museums, conservation organizations, universities, schools, and businesses. Each year an increasing number of countries and organizations have been marking June 8th as an opportunity to celebrate our world ocean and our personal connection to the sea. Together, we also developed and widely circulated a petition to the United Nations urging them to officially recognize World Oceans Day. With help from our Partner organizations, tens of thousands...

Pak Menteri Berusaha Mengangkat Nasib Nelayan

Tiada hari tanpa inovasi! Begitu semangat yang dipegang Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan, Fadel Muhammad ketika beliau masih menjabat sebagai Gubernur Gorontalo. Dari provinsi yang tergolong masih belia ini beliau belajar membangun kelautan dan perikanan. Berikut penuturan langsung pengalamannya. Ketika mengawali kedinasan saya sebagai Gubernur Gorontalo, pertama yang saya cari adalah data tentang profil ekonomi masyarakat petani dan nelayan, karena mereka merupakan mayoritas penduduk Gorontalo. Data yang saya peroleh dari Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Provinsi Gorontalo menunjukkan bahwa saat itu ada sekitar 30.100 Rumah Tangga Perikanan (RTP) yang beranggotakan sekitar 125.000 jiwa (14,79%) dari total penduduk Provinsi Gorontalo tahun 2002 yaitu 845.166 j iwa.
