Fishermen in Sangihe Regency are currently prohibited from using compressors as fishing aids.This was stated by the Head of the Capture Fisheries Division of the Sangihe Islands Regency Marine and Fisheries Service (DKP), Muchaerany Labora S.Pi.M.Si"So indeed, for the prohibition on the use of compressors, which is our legal basis, the Sangihe Islands Regent's instruction number 523/22/228 was indeed issued regarding the prohibition of the use of tools and or materials in fishing activities, which in detail there are for fishing gears. These dangerous tools or aids include compressors,” explained Labora.Then there, continued Labora, the use of other toxic materials which of course is the reason for the ban. First, this will disrupt the ecosystem in the waters."Specifically for the compressor, the compressor actually contains toxic materials which besides being able to affect the user personally, it will result in health problems, especially in the respiratory section," he said.He continued, indeed so far the local government, in this case the Fisheries Service, has taken joint steps with the supervisor in this matter which is the authority, namely PSDKP.“We are trying to carry out socialization at points that are prone to such activities.Indeed, so far there have been actions that have been taken, together we have carried out patrols with the PSDKP and as far as socialization activities we are still continuing, "he said.He also appealed to fishery business actors and especially fishermen to use environmentally friendly fishing gear."So, we as the local government, in this case the Department of Fisheries, appeal to the entire community, especially fishery business actors, more specifically, of course, fishermen, let us use environmentally friendly fishing gear, of course, and we must comply, because apart from that for our health, this is about ecosystem sustainability," he concluded.(Ady)Your email address will not be published.Required fields are marked *No more pages to load.
