JAKARTA: Australia and Indonesia have successfully carried out a fourth coordinated patrol targeting illegal fishing in the Arafura Sea.
Australia's Ambassador to Indonesia, Bill Farmer, said the seven-day operation from 24 to 30 May 2009 demonstrated a cooperative approach to safeguarding the Australian-Indonesian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) from illegal fishing.
The patrol involved the Australian Customs Vessel Roebuck Bay and the Indonesian Fisheries Vessels Hiu Macan 001 and Hiu Macan 002.
Ambassador Farmer said the coordinated patrol reflected the serious action both countries were taking to tackle illegal fishing in the region.
"Illegal fishing is an international problem and the success of the coordinated patrol demonstrates what can be achieved through international cooperation," he said in a press release on Monday. -JP
