The Natuna waters are currently in the public spotlight. The Indonesian government is protesting against China for allowing its fishermen to fish in Indonesia's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

According to a report by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), the waters in this area are rich in marine life. The Karimata Strait, the Natuna Sea, and the South China Sea fall under the same Indonesian State Fishing Management Area (WPNRI) with code 711. The total potential marine biomass there amounts to 767,100 tons (as of 2017).

Small pelagic fish represent the largest potential at 330,200 tons. Following small pelagic fish are large pelagic fish and demersal fish, totaling 188,900 tons and 131,000 tons respectively. Besides fish, there are also penaeid shrimp and squid, with potential amounts of 62,300 tons and 23,500 tons respectively.
