Photo: AFP The tattooed, straight talking Susi was an overnight sensation when she was handed the fisheries portfolio soon after President Joko Widodo swept to power in 2014. Founder of PT ASI Pudjiastuti Marine Products and charter airline Susi Air, which services some of the country’s far flung islands, she embodies Widodo’s vision of a cabinet filled with entrepreneurs rather than political hacks. Her hawkish stance on asserting sovereignty dovetailed with Widodo’s promises of returning the country to its maritime roots. The government quickly banned fishing by foreign vessels and put limits on the size of ships that may operate in Indonesia’s waters, moving to promote investment in fish processing plants. End of the road for Indonesia’s motorbikes? p The approach brought Susi plaudits. Last year the WWF gave her the Leaders for a Living Planet award. Activists credit her for highlighting the plight of fisheries. “When it comes to fisheries, Indonesia is now cool in the eyes of the world,” says Susan Herawati, the secretary general of KIARA, a non-profit agency promoting the issues of the industry. A catch of tuna is trans-shipped from an illegal, unregistered and unlicensed purse seine fishing vessel onto a reefer, or cold storage vessel in waters close to the border of Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone. Photo: AFP Even so, implementation in a country as vast as Indonesia and in places still profoundly corrupt is sketchy. Indonesian boats will often fish on behalf of Asian clients and simply transfer their catch to bigger factory ships just outside Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone, which usually extends 200 nautical miles from shore. “There are fewer foreign fishing boats now,” Herawati says. “It’s cool to bomb ships, but the big bosses [outside Indonesia] are still safe and have not been made to pay for our losses.” Still, Indonesia’s experience is at odds with other emerging economies. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation says 90 per cent of the world’s fisheries are either fully exploited or facing collapse. China’s government doles out billions in subsidies to underwrite bigger ships that can scour far-off fishing grounds. That has led to conflict. This year Argentina sank a Chinese vessel. Last year, Indonesia accused China’s coastguard of interfering in the seizure of Chinese vessels in waters around Indonesia’s Natuna Islands, which abut an area claimed by China as traditional fishing grounds. Would moving Indonesia’s capital work? p Indonesian President Joko Widodo. Photo: AFP The clash tests Indonesia’s relationship with China. Indonesia maintains it has no claims on portions of the South China Sea claimed by China. Even so, Susi supports Indonesia’s move earlier this year to rename the waters around the Natunas as the North Natuna Sea.

When these national and foreign fishermen un- dertake unauthorized fishing operations in Indonesian waters, they are guilty of illegal fishing under Indonesian law. The Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudiastuti revealed national data on the illegal operations of foreign vessels and stated that on some days, “over 70 vessels of 50 to 70 gross tons entered Indonesian waters”.1 According to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (mmaf) Indonesia suffers annual losses amounting to around Rp. 101 trillion (us$ 8.8 million) due to illegal fishing activities including not only losses of tax revenue for the State and income for local fishermen but also the abuse of fuel subsidies.2 Illegal fishermen use fuel allocated for autho- rized Indonesian fishermen and subsidized by the Indonesian Government.3 In order to avoid paying taxes on harvests, illegal fishermen will use counterfeit licenses. These fishermen also employ destructive fishing gears leading to the decline of catch for local fishermen.4 1 Sunan J.

    TRENDS IN MARINE RESOURCES AND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA | A 2018 REVIEW 1 Trends in Marine Resources and Fisheries Management in Indonesia A 2018 REVIEW 2 TRENDS IN MARINE RESOURCES AND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA | A 2018 REVIEW 01 Executive summary TRENDS IN MARINE RESOURCES AND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN INDONESIA | A 2018 REVIEW 3 Executive summary A country bridging two oceans As the world’s largest archipelagic state, the ocean plays an undeniably central role in Indonesia. With a water area that is nearly four times larger than its land area (Fig.1), the country derives pivotal benefits from the sea for its economy, geopolitics, culture, and natural environment. Situated at the center of major maritime trade routes, its seas are a gateway linking Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. Its coastal and marine waters make up one of the most fertile fishing grounds in the world: Indonesia is the second largest fish producer in the world, second only to China. Roughly 55 percent of this production comes from coastal areas, particularly from seagrass beds, mangroves, coral reefs, and estuaries. The country has the world’s largest area of mangrove forests which cover about 3 million hectares and contain five times as much carbon per hectare as tropical forests. A global hotspot and priority for conversation, Indonesia has one of the highest levels of marine biodiversity in the world and is home to world-renown marine reserves such as the Bird’s Head Seascape and Sunda Banda Seascape. While these resources present an abundance of natural capital, there are also material challenges in managing them effectively.

As the world’s largest archipelagic state, Indonesia produced almost 9 million metric tons of fishery products in 2012, which generated nearly usd 4 billion of export revenues in 2013.3 Furthermore, it is estimated that in 2011, each Indonesian consumed 28.9 kg of fishery products, making fisheries ac- count for 21% of Indonesia’s agricultural economy and 3% of the gdp (2012).4 Mindful of the importance of fisheries to Indonesia, Susi Pudjiastuti, Presi- dent Widodo’s handpicked Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (“mmaf”),5 has been taking a wide range of measures over the past three years to boost the fishing industry, bringing about an unprecedented reform in Indonesia’s 1 Rendi A.
