Jakarta (ANTARA) – Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono stated that his ministry is focused on expanding marine health conservation, including coral reefs.

“One of our focuses is to increase the number of closed conservation areas so that coral reef areas are maintained,” he said in Jakarta, Tuesday.

One of the objectives of the additional budget of IDR 4.47 trillion (US$274 million) for the 2025 fiscal year proposed to the House of Representatives (DPR) is to protect Indonesia’s conservation areas, he said.

However, regarding the amount that will be disbursed for conservation, he admitted that he would still study it further with his staff, especially the Directorate General of Marine and Marine Spatial Management (PKRL) of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP).

Trenggono proposed an additional budget of IDR 4.47 trillion (US$274 million) for the 2025 fiscal year in a joint meeting with the DPR on Tuesday.

The proposal aims to facilitate the smooth implementation of the ministry’s environmentally focused blue economy policy.

“It is hoped that (the proposed additional budget) will become input for the government in preparing the 2025 budget ceiling. So the proposed indicative KKP ceiling for 2025 is IDR 10.7 trillion,” he said.

The ministry targets increasing the area of ​​conservation areas in Indonesia to 30 percent of the country’s entire marine area by 2045.

Trenggono said that currently the area of ​​conservation areas in Indonesian waters has reached 28.9 million hectares.

According to him, conservation areas are important as a starting point to ensure the sustainability of fisheries resources.

The Ministry’s blue economy policy consists of five scopes, including expanding marine conservation areas, implementing quota-based measurable fishing policies, and developing sustainable marine, coastal and land cultivation.

This further includes monitoring and controlling coastal areas and small islands as well as cleaning up plastic waste in the sea through fishermen’s participation movements.
