Sink illegal fishing vessels

            Sink illegal fishing vessels, foreign media praised Indonesia

Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) back drowning of illegal foreign fishing boats in the Bay of Ambon. Illegal fishing vessels were from Papua New Guinea, but the majority of the crew were citizens of Thailand. From ambush apparatus, inside the ship contained 63 tons of various types of fish and shrimp.

Indonesia's strong action in the world spotlight. One of the famous foreign media, the Daily Mail, praised the firm policy of the government of President Joko Widodo. "This is a new way to deal with illegal fishing," read the Daily Mail, Monday (22/12).

British media also illustrates how the Navy carry out the destruction of the ship. This action is believed to make shriveled guts 5,400 illegal ships that regularly visited Indonesian sea.

"Indonesian Navy Ships spectacularly illegal, after its crew was arrested," said the Daily Mail.

There has been no confirmation from the government of Papua New Guinea and Thailand. So far, that has to respond to the new tough policy Navy Fishermen Association of Taiwan.

Reportedly, after the destruction of the ship Papua New Guinea, four Taiwanese vessels waiting to be bombed. China's state fraction of workers sent to confirm the status of their citizens who were arrested in the Sea Arafuru.

Two ships were sunk yesterday was KM Century 4 / PNG-051 and KM Century 7 / PNG-069. Its weight of 200 Gross Tons and 250 Gross Tons. When arrested, the two foreign ship was carrying 72 crew nationality Thailand and Cambodia and seven citizen.

Sinking of two vessels led the Commander Fleet Eastern Region (Pangarmatim) Laksda TNI Arie Henriycus Sembiring Meliala accompanied Danguspurlatim, Danlantamal IX Ambon, Wakapuspen TNI, Kadispenal, Kejati Maluku, Danrem 151 Binaya and Dirpolair Maluku Police in the waters of Ambon on Sunday (21 / 12) around 10:00 local time.

"The action to sink two vessels was conducted to confirm that the Government of Indonesia firmly and do not play games against foreign illegal fishing vessels illegally in Indonesian waters," said Meliala.

Infrastructure Development for Space Oceanography (INDESO) 30 MINUTES TRACK ILLEGAL FISHING

The act of the foreign fishermen "hooked" once to steal the fish in our waters is quite  troublesome, plus very detrimental. Many factors led to Indonesia so helter-skelter confront the act of the foreign fishermen. One of them, which certainly is a limitation of surveillance vessels. Imagine, the Indonesian waters so vast that only monitored by surveillance vessels  whose numbers can be counted on the fingers. It was, quite impossible, ships were able to apprehend the robbers fish are so numerous and scattered in almost all areas of our waters.

The amount that is not how it turned out is exacerbated by other factors. Like, very limited personnel. With personnel who impressed "if there are" only that, obviously very unlikely to be able to cover marine areas are so large. Moreover, must hunt down the thieves as well mcnangkap terscbut fish. Another classic reasons that could be considered as "the old song" is a matter of funding. Based on the information, funding for these activities is fairly minimal. Thus, the cost of  which serbacekak the monitoring system of marine products in the country into a dead faint.

This situation is obviously very unfavorable. Indonesia actually has a tremendous amount of marine resources so it does not move at all, when robbers foreign deplete  result that sea. We can only sit back and bite the fingers when they are free to swing, bringing the loot was returned to his country. And, these conditions as difficult unstoppable and has  lasted long enough. Speaking of losses. Never in wonder. It seemed difficult for reckoning.

Last update of estimated losses from the least reached Rp 300 trillion. Very severe. Well, if illegal fishing is they do mcmbabi-blind, it is not impossible  will make our seas over fishing.

Given this fact, of course, does not make the government just sit on my hands. Since the problem of illegal fishing to the fore in fact the government, particularly the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has rolled out quite a lot of concepts to prevent such activities. Unfortunately, these concepts are still not working effectively. There are still cracks for the perpetrators of the illegal fishing is to drain the contents of the Indonesian seas. In short all the "recipe" is too blunt to lunge to prevent them. As a result the country still missed.

Fortunately, the situation was not necessarily the make the government give up. There are still a number of concepts Formulated that a French government agency engaged in the construction. Together with the Indonesian Government agency building projects INDESO (Infrastructure Development Space Oceanography). This technology is a facility that Allows infrasuktur using satellite observations globally on spatial scales to monitor illegal fishing. This cooperation has actually been initiated since 2012 and plans to begin to be applied in full in 2015. So, what about financing?

According to the Head of Research and Development - Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (Balitbang - KP), the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), Dr. Purnomo Achmad, the investment value of the technology infrastructure development of marine and fisheries amounted to 30 million US dollars. Source of funding comes from the soft loan (soft loan) with a payback period of 15 years. As well, a grant or a grant from the French Government. INDESO infrastructure development was concentrated in the Marine Observation Research Center in Peranck, Bali,

Water sensing technology project that will last for three years is certainly not simple. There are several targets into the main activities of this project should be done. "There is a major activity in this project," said Purnomo. "First, the construction of ground station or satellite reception, plus the facility data." he added. And second, Purnomo said, is the development of infrastructure computing for modeling biological oceanography and marine. Through the main support infrastructure that INDESO technology will work, detection of water conditions in Indonesia.

Globally, infrastructure ground station to a satellite sensing distance away, to implement two important advanced equipment, each optical and radar. The instrument is capable of producing a very sharp resolution, ranging from the macro scale to fairly detailed scale of 1: 2000. Later infrastructure computing, a device which is useful as an instrument modeling oceanogafi and marine biological approach is to apply not only physically, but also biology. A combination of both performance feels no longer in doubt, and believed to be able to produce optimally as expected.

The real benefit

Mentioned the possibility, technology INDESO certainly not in doubt. In terms of performance, as already highlighted earlier, these products are quite reliable. With penginderaannya sophisticated technology, INDESO predicted to reach the territorial waters of Indonesia is so spacious with characteristics that are quite diverse. With performance like that is not impossible that the device will be able to save a significant amount of budget. Just so you know, this tool can see the migration of fish and marine vessels from the Philippines to Australia. So with this technology can be seen the potential of fish coming so we would not be wasting fuel. Compare, if the waters are so extensive supervision is left to the unmanned aircraft or drones, how much money the pocket should dirogoh government to procure a drone that cost sky-high. So, concretely, with a relatively cheaper cost, this device is able to deliver maximum results.

Generally INDESO is a program designed to monitor the condition of the waters of Indonesia. No exception is also included elements of biogeochemistry and ecosystems, involving a variety of disciplines in its implementation. It simultaneously also to tighten surveillance against illegal fishing action, and protect wealth biodiversitasnya. Based on the information, the technology is illegal fishing or illegal Unreported Unregulated (IUU) Fishing can be detected in just 30 minutes. Awesome!

Not only that. The device turned out to be utilized to perform other tasks. According to Purnomo Achmad, INDESO technology could observe shrimp ponds and inventory a good location for a similar ponds, including water for the cultivation of seaweed, and can also be used to detect oil spills. Of course, the devices will be full of these advantages there is a target to be achieved. "Implementation of the application is expected to help the government's efforts in economic development in harmony with the environment as well as in determining the direction of policies to prevent natural disasters," said the man nicknamed this Ipung pack.
