🌊 Government Reopens Sea Sand Export Despite Environmental Concerns
The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Trade, has officially reopened sea sand exports. The move, however, has drawn criticism from the Indonesian Forum for the Environment (WALHI), which argues that this decision could lead to environmental damage. The reopening is regulated under the Ministry of Trade Regulation No. 20/2024, with the practice being banned for the past 20 years due to environmental concerns.
📜 Legal Background of Sea Sand Export Ban
Sea sand exports were banned during the presidency of Megawati 20 years ago due to the negative environmental impact. However, in 2023, President Joko Widodo issued Government Regulation No. 26/2023, which allows for the resumption of exports. This regulation focuses on managing sedimentation in the sea and permits certain entities to dredge sea sand as a form of sediment control.
⚖️ Export Conditions for Dredged Sea Sand
Government Regulation No. 26/2023 includes provisions that allow sea sand dredged from sedimentation management activities to be exported, as long as domestic needs are met. The Ministry of Trade stressed that exports cannot be done carelessly, with export permits only being granted after domestic requirements have been fulfilled.
🚨 WALHI’s Constitutional Objections to Sand Exports
WALHI argues that the government's decision to resume sea sand exports is unconstitutional, as it contradicts the mandate to protect and restore the environment. They criticize the policy as harmful, claiming that all sea sand in Indonesia is a result of natural sedimentation, and that the government's actions could worsen environmental degradation rather than mitigate it.
🛑 Parliament to Scrutinize Sea Sand Export Policy
Members of Indonesia’s Commission 4 of the House of Representatives have raised concerns about the environmental and national implications of the sea sand export policy. They plan to question the government to ensure that the exports do not harm the country’s environment or economic interests, and to verify that the policy doesn’t benefit other countries at the expense of Indonesia.
🏗️ Sea Sand Exports to Singapore: Historical Context
Before the ban, much of the sea sand from Indonesia’s Riau Islands was exported to Singapore, where it was primarily used for land reclamation. Data from the Ministry of Trade shows that annual sea sand exports reached 250 million cubic meters. The sand imports significantly increased Singapore’s land area, which expanded from 578 km² before independence to 735.6 km² by June 2024.
