Strategy to re-utilization shrimp resources in the Arafura Sea

Illegal fishing carried out by foreign fishing vessels (Kapal Ikan Asing, KIA) and Indonesian fishing vessels (Kapal Ikan Indonesia, KII) in Indonesian waters also causes other crimes such as the entry of illegal immigrants to Indonesia. This writing aims to assess the relationship between illegal fishing and the entry of illegal immigrants as a form of transnational crime. The research method used is normative legal research. The sources of legal material used are primary, secondary and tertiary legal materials related to writing. The technique of collecting data through library studies and analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that Indonesia as the largest archipelagic country in the world with 17,504 large and small islands and a length of coastline of 81,700 km 2 makes Indonesia a country with abundant marine resource potential. For this reason, many foreign naval fleets have made Indonesian waters as the main destination for their capture fisheries. This capture fishery company has more foreign ownership, the exploitation of marine resources that we own both legally and illegally. Likewise, this also happened in the Moluccas territory. As a province of the archipelago with an ocean area of 658,295 km 2 with a coastline length of 11,000 km 2, the Maluku Sea holds abundant potential for marine wealth. Arafura Sea is one of the fisheries management areas which is often the main destination for foreign-owned fishing vessels. These fresh fish from the Moluccas are stolen and taken away in fresh condition directly to the area of origin of the perpetrators. Illegal fishing activities not only make Indonesia economically disadvantaged, but there is another problem, namely the existence of other crimes that usually follow the illegal fishing activities. One of them is the entry of illegal immigrants into Indonesian territory.

Descriptive Method

Indonesia memegang peranan penting dalam perikanan Tuna, Tongkol dan Cakalang di dunia. Indonesia telah memasok lebih dari 16% produksi Tuna, Tongkol dan cakalang dunia. Tuna dan cakalang memiliki peranan penting bagi sektor perikanan tangkap di Indonesia sehingga pengetahuan tentang profil perikanan Tuna dan cakalang menjadi sangat penting untuk diketahui. Kajian yang dilakukan pada tahun 2017 ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan profil perikanan Tuna dan cakalang di Indonesia yang akan dikemukakan berdasarkan penelurusan data sekunder berupa data statistik, laporan penelitian dan publikasi ilmiah terkait perikanan Tuna dan cakalang di Indonesia yang dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa perikanan Tuna dan cakalang di Indonesia terdiri jenis yaitu industri dan artisanal. Daerah penyebaran ikan Tuna dan cakalang meliputi Laut Banda, Laut Maluku, Laut Flores, Laut Sulawesi, Laut Hindia, Laut Halmahera, perairan utara Aceh, barat Sumatera, selatan Jawa, utara Sulawesi, Teluk Tomini, Teluk Cendrawasih dan Laut Arafura. Produksi Tuna dan cakalang terus meningkat sejak tahun 2000 sampai dengan tahun 2015. Peningkatan produksi Tuna dan cakalang menunjukkan bahwa tingginya tingkat permintaan terhadap kedua komoditas tersebut. Alat tangkap yang digunakan untuk menangkap Tuna dan cakalang sangat beragam yang dapat dikelompokkan menjadi 6 jenis, yaitu rawai Tuna (Tuna long line), rawai hanyut selain rawai Tuna (drift longline other than Tuna long line), rawai tetap (set long line), huhate (skipjack pole and line), pancing tonda (troll line) dan pancing yang lain (other pole and line)Title: The Profile of Tuna and Cakalang Fishery in IndonesiaIndonesia plays an important role in Tuna and Skipjack fisheries in the world due to its supply of more than 16% of the world’s Tuna and skipjack production. Since they have been being a vital commodity in capture fisheries in Indonesia, it is important to have knowledge of Tuna and skipjack fisheries. This study was conducted in 2017 and it aims to describe the profile of Tuna and skipjack in Indonesia that built upon secondary data. The data were collected from statistical data, scientific report and publication related to Tuna and skipjack fisheries in Indonesia and they were analyzed using descriptive method. The results suggest that Tuna and skipjack fisheries in Indonesia consist of industrial and artisanal types. The fishing ground of Tuna and skipjack covering Banda Sea, Maluku Sea, Flores Sea, Sulawesi Sea, Indian Ocean, Halmahera Sea, Northern Aceh Sea, West Sumatra, South Java, North Sulawesi, Tomini Bay, Cendrawasih Bay and Arafura Sea. The production of Tuna and skipjack Tuna continues to increase particularly during 2000 to 2015. The increased number of Tuna and skipjack production indicates the high demand of these two commodities. There are various fishing gear to catch Tuna and Skipjack, which can be grouped into 6 types, namely Tuna long line, drift longline other than Tuna long line, set long line, huhate (skipjack pole and line), troll line and other fishing rods (other pole and line)

Red snapper resources in the Arafura Sea have been effectively exploited by the industrial scale of bottom long line, fish trawl and shrimp trawl fisheries. Research activities carried out by the ACIAR-RCCF revealed that there were genetic similarity of the three red snapper species between the Australian and lndonesian sectors of the Arafura Sea"

Marine Seismic

Torres Strait is the narrow waterway on the Continental Shelf which connects the Arafura Sea to the Coral Sea and separates the Cape York Peninsula from South-western Papua. Within Torres Strait and the Arafura Sea the marine seismic survey area specifically discussed here covers the north-western part of Authority to Prospect 104P held by Marathon Petroleum Australia Ltd. Except for a few small islands this area is covered by a shallow tropical sea not more than 160 feet deep which is studded with coral reefs.Four regional structural features influence the area. These are the Cape York-Oriomo Ridge to the east, the Carpentaria Basin to the south and the Morehead and Papuan Basins to the north. These features are indicated by regional geology and have been confirmed by the combined interpretations of reconnaissance geophysical surveys conducted by various exploration organisations during the past 30 years.The A.T.P. 104P (West) Marine Seismic Survey, consisting of 618 miles of subsurface coverage, was carried out for Marathon between November 8 and November 28, 1964.Several operational problems prevented completion of the survey as originally planned. Shallow water and reefing prevented shooting in the north-east portion of the proposed area.Shooting 300 per cent subsurface coverage commenced in the south-eastern part of the survey area, but, due to shallow basement at less than one second, multiple coverage was not feasible. Production shooting which gave 100 per cent subsurface coverage on the short spreads was continued throughout the remainder of the survey.Two reflection horizons and a resultant isochron were mapped in the area. A "deep" reflector is interpreted as originating from granitic basement, while a "shallow" reflector is tentatively correlated with a horizon in the Cretaceous section.The "shallow" horizon mapped is essentially conformable with the "deep" horizon. Both show a regional west dip with thinning of section to the east. Some north and south components of the regional west dip are established. The resultant isochron comparisons based on this work appear too limited in scope to establish any definite local structural control of deposition.
