Kotabaru, (Antaranews, South Kalimantan) - Kotabaru Government will immediately
establish Navy post in sub-District Pulau Sembilan, about 84 miles south of
Pulau Laut to maintain security in the local waters.
Commission I DPRD Kotabaru Zulkipli in Kotabaru on Sunday said, the construction
of the posts is expected to reduce the occurrence of illegal fishing. "During
this time, illegal fishing frequently using Molotov cocktails in the waters of southern
Kotabaru," he said.
Community suspected, fishing activity using Molotov cocktails conducted by fishermen
from outside Kotabaru. They act by playing "cat and mouse" with the officer.
When the officer saw, they pretend to catch fish with a reasonable way. Conversely,
if the officer off guard, they back to using petrol bombs that can kill all kinds
of big and small fish. Medium impact of molotov bombs can damage marine
ecosystems and coral reef.
Hopefully, these checkpoints will minimize the actors who are not responsible, adding
to tighen security of Pulau Sembilan waters as the border of Kotabaru, South
Kalimantan, with East Java.
Meanwhile, sub-District Pulau Sembilan has an area of ​​4.76 km2 with Marabatuan
as capital. Geographically it located 116 degrees 60 '54 "- 116 degrees 19'
30" longitude and 3 degrees 37 `00" - 4 degrees 95 '50 "S, and there
are five villages: the village of Labuan Barat, Teluk Sungai Village, Villages Maradapan,
Middle Village, and the village of Tanjung Nyiur.
