A long history of illegal fishing, the dumping of tailing from mining companies into the sea, and poor support for traditional fishermen are the three main problems in Indonesia's ocean sector. Unfortunately, those issues remain excluded from the agenda at the World Ocean Conference (WOC) that begins Monday.

Reject WOC-CTI Technofacist Way of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management!!!
Power to the Coastal Communities!

The fishery remain one of the major contributors in terms of production and economic growth of majority of nations in the Southeast Asia region and that people in fishing communities such as the artisanal fishers, women and children portray important roles in the management and protection of fishery resources.
We call for Justice in Fisheries which respects, upholds and protects artisanal fisher's right, women and children's rights, access and control rights, user's right, and management right as the basic principle on inland waters and coastal and marine resources management.
