Joint Vision for Oceans of Indonesia in 2025
Joint Vision for Oceans of Indonesia in 2025 Recovered, Healthy and Protected Oceans: The oceans of Indonesia are 100% free from any illegal and destructive fishing practices, and local fishermen and archipelagic communities have sovereignty, wisdom and prosperity in sustainable management of oceans resources! We have agreed and signed this joint vision, which fully supports sustainable development in all regions of the coastal areas and oceans in Indonesia without environmental destruction and human rights abuses. We call upon the Indonesian Government to achieve the target of Indonesian oceans 100% free of any illegal and destructive fishing practices as well as free from overfishing, and together ensure a healthy ocean for the future generations of Indonesia by: 1. Asserting that all stakeholders must commit to and implement the environmental and social principles as well as best practices in fishing activities and fisheries management. 2. Implementing sustainable development through an open and equal process by engaging coastal communities in all plans and decisions, ensuring that the vital ecosystems of coastal areas and oceans are protected from destruction and pollution and ensuring that living resources, local livelihoods, food availability, local rights, local culture and local wisdom are not destroyed. 3. Ensuring that arrangments for the managment of marine and fishery resources are robust, apply the ecosystem approach and precautionary principle, and integrate and align with the consideration of the impacts of non-fisheries extractive activities (such as mining) which have important implications for fisheries and threaten the sustainability of marine fishery resources. 4. Strengthening Integrated Coastal Management (ICM) by considering the balance of upland-lowland management, watersheds, and small islands in order to realise good governance of landscape and seascape spatial plans. 5. Controlling and evaluating fishing licences and limiting the issuance of fishing licences strictly and transparently in order to reduce overcapacity, by considering the advice and recommendations from the results of scientific research and monitoring of the condition of the fish resources (SDI) in Indonesia Waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone of Indonesia and applying the precautionary approach. 6. Strengthening small scale fisheries as the principal platform in a fisheries system which is just and sustainable within Indonesian fisheries governance and ensuring that all Indonesian traditional and small scale fishermen are acknowledged for, and receive their rights and obtain reasonable assurance of fair fish prices; and that all fisheries workers on Indonesian fishing boats (KII) and foreign fishing vessels (KIA) fully earn decent wages, enjoy an appropriate working environment, social security, wide access to education for fishermen’s children, safety in fishing, life insurance and legal protection. 7. Strengthening monitoring, control and surveillance and regional coordination of fishing activities. Ensure loopholes for illegal fishing such as transhipments at sea are closed. 8. Preventing the entrance of foreign fishing fleets (KIA) to Indonesian Waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone of Indonesia. 9. Reforming, implementing and enforcing national law and regulations and ratifying international law and taking active roles in the improvement of the formulation and implementation of conventions of regional fisheries management organizations, as well as multilateral and other international environmental and biodiversity agreements. 10. Ensuring clarity and harmony of the management regime between the Exclusive Economic Zone of Indonesia and international waters around Indonesia by participating in relevant regional fisheries management organisations to ensure sustainable management of shared stocks and support, internationally, the strengthening of oceans governance in international waters. 11. Building and strengthening spirit and solidarity in global oceans protection and responsible fisheries management at local, national, regional and international levels, including the establishment of marine reserves covering 40% of international waters. Let us all unite hand in hand, to create responsible, sustainable and equitable fisheries management for food sovereignty and prosperity for the people of Indonesia and deliver the joint vision as part of the revitalisation efforts and achievements of the Indonesia Vision 2025!
