T

he Global Maritime Axis seems to be a realistic dream for Indonesia ever since President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo came into power. Mainstream opinions believe that developing the maritime sectors is the key to boosting Indonesia’s economy, as a lot of potential in our waters remains untapped. 

Yet, these opinions sometimes disregard the current state of industrial development, which may be the biggest stumbling block in realizing the dream. The fisheries sector is one of the most interesting examples for looking at whether the correct and necessary actions have been taken to catch up with the current development era. 

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti has set a target for the fisheries sector to contribute 7 percent of gross domestic product in 2015-2019. Hopefully, this will pave the way for Indonesia to become the Global Maritime Axis.

The fisheries sector has actually been friendly toward advanced technologies for several years. In capture fishery, Indonesia has collaborated with Google since 2016 on its vessel monitoring system (VMS) under the Global Fishing Watch digital platform. The cooperation requires Indonesia to share data on operational fishing vessels in 11 Fisheries Management Areas (FMA) while it allows Indonesia to detect illegal fishing vessels entering its territory at the same time.
