NELAYAN SELAT ALAS & PASIR REKLAMASI - Ekspedisi Indonesia Biru #18
Summary
TLDRThis video script follows the environmental and economic struggles in Lombok, Indonesia. A pesantren in Lombok Barat attempts to manage its daily one-ton waste production, while fishermen in Lombok Timur face challenges from the proposed sand dredging for a 700-hectare reclamation project in Teluk Benoa, Bali. Fishermen worry about its impact on the local marine ecosystem and their livelihoods. Additionally, the script highlights the reliance of fishermen on fuel, the fluctuating fish catch, and emerging tourism ventures as an alternative income source amidst the uncertainties of traditional fishing.
Takeaways
- 🌍 The pesantren in West Lombok processes its own waste, reaching 1 ton per day, as part of its social responsibility education, though it's not fully environmentally friendly yet.
- 🏖️ 25 million cubic meters of sand from East Lombok is allegedly targeted for the reclamation project in Benoa Bay, Bali.
- 🚤 Tanjung Luar, a fishing village with over 1,000 ketinting boats, relies on the fragile marine ecosystem for its livelihood.
- ⚖️ Fishermen in Tanjung Luar are concerned that dredging sand for the reclamation project will damage their coastal environment and marine life.
- 🐟 Fisherman Muhammad Thahri struggles with low fish catches in the Alas Strait, making less than Rp200,000 per trip, barely covering fuel costs.
- ⛽ The fishermen depend heavily on fuel, which is frequently in short supply, causing economic pressure, especially with rising fuel prices.
- 🛢️ Local fuel stations often run out, forcing fishermen to rely on fuel resellers like Hasanuddin, who sell at higher prices.
- 🎣 BBM (fuel) is a non-substitutable resource for fishermen, making it impossible for them to reduce consumption even when prices increase.
- 🏝️ Muhammad Thahri diversifies his income by offering local tourism services, guiding trips to Pink Beach and Sand Island.
- 🛥️ Tourism, especially trips to scenic spots like Pink Beach, is becoming a more reliable income source for fishermen, as fishing becomes increasingly uncertain.
Q & A
What is the primary environmental issue being addressed by the pesantren in West Lombok?
-The pesantren in West Lombok is addressing the issue of waste management, as it deals with about 1 ton of waste per day. Although their system is not yet fully eco-friendly, it plays a key role in educating and instilling social responsibility among the students.
What project is mentioned in relation to the extraction of sea sand from East Lombok?
-The project mentioned is the reclamation of Teluk Benoa in Bali, a 700-hectare area, for which 25 million cubic meters of sea sand from East Lombok is reportedly being targeted.
What concerns do local fishermen have about the sand extraction project?
-Local fishermen are concerned that the sand extraction will damage the marine ecosystem. They fear the removal of sand could cause erosion and affect coral reefs, which are important for fishing. They feel that while development may benefit others, it will destroy their livelihoods.
How many small boats depend on the marine ecosystem in Tanjung Luar, according to the script?
-There are at least 1,000 small boats, or 'ketinting,' in Tanjung Luar that rely on the sustainability of the marine ecosystem for their livelihoods.
What economic challenges do fishermen in Tanjung Luar face besides environmental threats?
-In addition to environmental concerns, fishermen face economic challenges related to fuel shortages and price increases. Fuel is a critical part of their livelihood, and they struggle to keep up with fluctuating fuel prices and availability.
How much money does a fisherman typically make if they fill their boat with fish, and why is it not always profitable?
-If a fisherman fills their boat with fish, they may make around IDR 200,000, which barely covers fuel costs. Due to unpredictable conditions at sea, it is not always possible to catch enough fish to make a profit, often leading to financial losses.
What solution do some fishermen turn to when fuel is scarce at official stations?
-When fuel is scarce at official stations, some fishermen turn to local fuel sellers, such as Hasanuddin, who sell fuel at a higher price, typically IDR 7,000 to IDR 7,200 per liter.
Why has Muhammad, one of the fishermen, started a local tourism business?
-Muhammad has started a local tourism business because he recognizes that relying solely on fishing is not always sustainable or profitable. He finds that tourism offers a more stable income compared to the uncertainties of fishing.
What are the key attractions in Muhammad’s tourism package?
-Muhammad’s tourism package includes visits to the Pink Beach, known for its pink-colored sand, and Pasir Island, a sandbar that appears during low tide. He charges IDR 500,000 for a full-day tour of these spots.
What new economic opportunities do local fishermen see beyond fishing?
-Local fishermen see opportunities in the tourism industry, where they can capitalize on the natural beauty of their region to offer guided tours and earn a more reliable income compared to the volatile fishing industry.

🌍 Managing Waste at a Local Pesantren and Sand Dredging for Bali Reclamation
This paragraph discusses the efforts of a pesantren (Islamic boarding school) in West Lombok to manage their waste, which reaches one ton per day. Although not fully environmentally friendly, this system is a critical part of the school's educational and social responsibility teachings. The narration then shifts to East Lombok, specifically Labuan Haji and Tanjung Luar, where the local fishing village is located. The sand from Lombok's waters is rumored to be targeted for a 700-hectare reclamation project in Benoa Bay, Bali, causing concerns among the local fishing community about the potential environmental damage.
🚤 Struggles of Local Fishermen and the Environmental Impact of Sand Dredging
The paragraph elaborates on the fishermen’s activities in Labuan Haji, emphasizing the environmental consequences of the sand dredging project. It describes how this could destroy the marine ecosystem, displace the coral, and harm the livelihood of fishermen who rely on shallow waters for fishing. The narrative highlights a local fisherman named Muhammad Thahri, who expresses skepticism about the project’s impact and fears that the dredging will lead to erosion and damage to fishing spots. Despite the authorities' claims that the dredging will happen far offshore, the fishermen remain concerned about its long-term consequences.
🎣 Fishermen’s Daily Struggles with Uncertain Catches and Rising Fuel Costs
This section captures the daily hardships of fishermen in Tanjung Luar, who face uncertainty in their catches. Fishermen like Muhammad Thahri head out to the Alas Strait early in the morning, aiming for fish like tuna, but often return with empty nets. Even if they do manage a modest catch, the financial return barely covers fuel costs. Thahri’s efforts on this particular day are fruitless, and his failure to fill his plastic container with fish leaves him with only about 200,000 rupiah, insufficient to compensate for the fuel he used.
💸 Economic Challenges for Fishermen and the Role of Fuel Shortages
This paragraph discusses the economic struggles of fishermen, focusing on the rising fuel prices and scarcity of fuel, which further strain their livelihoods. Local fuel stations, such as the one in Tanjung Luar, are quickly depleted of fuel, leaving fishermen scrambling to find alternative sources. The narrator highlights how critical fuel is to the fishermen’s work, being an essential, irreplaceable commodity. The increase in fuel prices forces fishermen to adjust their expenses, but reducing their fishing activities is not an option as their livelihood depends on it.
🛢️ Fuel Resellers and Tourism as Alternative Income for Fishermen
Hasanuddin, a fuel reseller, steps in when the official fuel stations run out. He sells gasoline at a slight markup, sometimes on credit, helping fishermen stay afloat. The narrative shifts to Thahri’s other venture: local tourism. With the uncertainties of fishing, Thahri has started offering guided tours to supplement his income. One popular destination is Pink Beach, known for its pinkish sand, which has become a major tourist attraction. Tourism offers a more reliable source of income for Thahri compared to the unpredictable nature of fishing.
🌅 Exploring the Beauty of Pink Beach and the Rise of Local Tourism
Thahri continues to develop his tourism business, offering packages to Pink Beach and a sandbank that appears during low tide. Charging 500,000 rupiah for a full-day trip, Thahri finds tourism more dependable than fishing. The pink hue of the sand, visible both from the beach and from above, attracts many tourists, providing Thahri with a steady income. While fishing remains uncertain and fuel prices rise, tourism offers hope for a better livelihood.
🏖️ The Shift to Local Tourism Amid Economic and Environmental Pressures
As fishing becomes more difficult due to fuel price hikes and dwindling catches, local tourism emerges as a new economic opportunity. Fishermen like Thahri pivot to guiding tourists, showcasing natural wonders such as Pulau Pasir, a sandbar that appears during low tide. However, the looming threat of large-scale sand dredging for the Bali reclamation project puts even this new livelihood at risk. The paragraph reflects on how environmental exploitation could further jeopardize the delicate balance of local ecosystems and the livelihoods that depend on them.

nelayan atau spbn di Tanjung luar namun
16.000 l BBM akan tandas dalam sehari

masyarakat diharapkan lebih hemat dalam
mengonsumsi energi tentu saja argumen
ini tak berlaku bagi nelayan yang tak
punya pilihan
lain terutama karena dalam ilmu ekonomi
