Jakarta: In celebration of the 70th year of Indonesia’s independence, the government is planning to produce a grand spectacle by sinking another batch of foreign fishing vessels.
The Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry’s director-general for maritime and fisheries resources surveillance, Asep Burhanuddin, said his office was working together with the navy and the water police to prepare 37 fishing vessels that local courts had declared guilty of poaching or poaching-related offences in the country’s territorial waters.
