Illegal Bamboo Fences Found Along Tangerang Coastline: Mystery Unraveled by DPR – Tribunnews.com
The mysterious appearance of illegal bamboo fences stretching over 30 kilometers along the Tangerang coastline has left the Indonesian House of Representatives (DPR) in a state of confusion. As of now, the DPR leadership has not yet planned to summon individuals linked to the emergence of these enigmatic bamboo fences.
DPR Vice Chairman Sufmi Dasco Ahmad explained that the DPR is uncertain about who should provide clarification regarding these bamboo fences. He mentioned the complexity of the situation, with various parties, including fishermen and community groups, claiming responsibility for the fences. This ambiguity has made the DPR hesitant to call anyone in for questioning.
Ahmad emphasized that they will conduct thorough checks with various stakeholders to shed light on the bamboo fences appearing in Tangerang waters, which have now spread to the Bekasi coastline. The DPR leadership has tasked the technical commission within the DPR to inquire about the responsible parties behind the construction of these fences.
The next step involves investigating multiple entities, including law enforcement agencies, to uncover the masterminds behind the bamboo fences. Once sufficient information is gathered, and the DPR enters its next session, on-site inspections will be carried out to address the situation directly.
Expert Opinion on the Situation
Previously, Head of the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) Rear Admiral TNI Irvansyah expressed confidence in the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) to resolve the issue of the bamboo fences in various locations near Tangerang and Bekasi. He clarified that addressing sea boundary issues is not within Bakamla’s jurisdiction and emphasized that they do not wish to encroach on the responsibilities of other ministries and agencies regarding this matter.
Local Impact and Concerns
The presence of these illegal bamboo fences in the waters off Desa Kronjo, Kecamatan Kronjo, Kabupaten Tangerang, Banten, has had detrimental effects on the local fishing community. Fishermen have reported difficulties navigating these waters, affecting their livelihoods and daily operations. The looming threat of fines for unauthorized presence in these restricted areas has added to their concerns, forcing them to alter their fishing routes.
In conclusion, the unfolding saga of the mysterious bamboo fences along the Tangerang coastline has sparked a wave of uncertainty and intrigue among local residents and authorities alike. As investigations continue and stakeholders are engaged, the hope remains to uncover the truth behind these puzzling structures and ensure the preservation of the coastal ecosystem for future generations.
