TEMPO Interactive, Jakarta: Maritime and Fishery Minister Fadel Muhammad and Indonesian Navy chief of Staff Admiral Agus Suhartono have signed an MoU on maritime and fishery resources development.
“The scope of the agreement includes monitoring, controlling, and surveillance (MCS) system development," Fadel said in his office yesterday.
Fadel explained that the Maritime and Fishery Ministry and the Indonesian Navy will carry out patrols together.
“The patrols are intended to penalize fish thefts and enforcing the law in national jurisdiction waters,” he said.
The supervision has been increased because fishery resources are often stolen by other countries.
Both parties also intensified collaboration in the education sector as well as human resource development.
