Q & A
What challenges are faced by the fishermen in the Jakarta coastal area?
-The fishermen in the Jakarta coastal area face several challenges, including environmental degradation due to pollution, changes in weather conditions, and a decrease in fish population. The waters have become polluted, and many fish species have migrated further out to sea, making it harder for local fishermen to catch fish.
How has the construction in the Jakarta Bay affected the fishing industry?
-The construction projects in the Jakarta Bay have led to pollution, which affects the local fishing industry. The increased waste and construction activities have resulted in polluted water, causing fish to die or move farther from the shore, thus reducing the catch for local fishermen.
What types of fish and marine life does the local community typically catch?
-The local community typically catches fish such as Belanak and various types of crabs, like Rajungan. These fish are important for their daily livelihood, with some people using specific methods like 'serok' (a type of scoop net) to catch them.
How does the local weather impact the fishermen's work?
-The local weather plays a significant role in the fishermen's work. When the weather is unfavorable, such as during storms or heavy rain, they are forced to return to land for safety. If the weather worsens, fishing activities are paused to prevent accidents.
What role does education play in the coastal community?
-Education plays a crucial role in the coastal community, particularly for the children. Facilities like the 'Taman Anak Pesisir' (Coastal Children's Park) offer important educational opportunities, helping children from fishing families access proper schooling and learn about environmental sustainability.
What is the significance of community-based educational programs for the fishermen's children?
-Community-based educational programs are essential for the children of fishermen as they provide the necessary resources and support for learning. These programs are often organized by local groups and university students, promoting environmental education and helping children learn despite their difficult circumstances.
How have fishing practices changed over time in this area?
-Fishing practices have changed due to the depletion of fish populations, the rise of pollution, and the construction of the port. Previously, fish were abundant near the shore, but now fishermen have to travel further out to sea, and fishing methods like netting and the use of 'keramba' (floating cages) have become more common.
What impact has pollution had on the fish population?
-Pollution has had a detrimental effect on the fish population in the area. The waste from factories and construction activities has polluted the water, causing many fish to die or migrate away from the coast. This makes it more difficult for local fishermen to catch fish, leading to reduced income for their families.
What are the local fishermen's concerns about the price of fish?
-Local fishermen are concerned about the low prices they receive for their catch. Despite their hard work, the price for fish, especially crabs like Rajungan, has decreased significantly. Fishermen are paid far less than before, and even though they have raised their concerns with authorities, the prices have not improved.
How do the fishermen deal with the hazardous conditions at sea?
-Fishermen have to carefully assess weather conditions before heading out to sea. Some, like Adi, mentioned that they had experienced life-threatening situations while at sea but continue working despite the risks. They also have to manage the hazardous conditions caused by pollution and weather by being cautious and returning to shore when necessary.
