[Unpad.ac.id, 11/10/2016] Indonesia has abundant marine potential, but the utilization is still very small. The challenge faced today was that utilization of existing resources in the sea is more difficult than that of the land.
“If you see Indonesia’s potential in the maritime field, we are still far away from the existing and exploited. Still a long way, “said Deputy for Infrastructure Coordinatino of Ministry for Maritime, Dr. Ir. Ridwan Jamaluddin, M.Sc., in Emtek Goes To Campus at Graha Sanusi Hardjadinata Universitas Padjadjaran in Bandung, Monday (10/10).

After their efforts to combat illegal fishing on Indonesian waters, Dr. Ridwan confirmed that the next thing to be improved is by promoting the fishing industry. Fishery products also needed further processing to increase its value.
“After the efforts to combat illegal fishing, we promote the industry,” said Dr. Ridwan.
