Maluku Governor Murad Ismail is furious over the moratorium policy implemented by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Susi Pudjiastuti. The policy is considered detrimental to Maluku Province because the province receives nothing from the export of fish caught in the Arafura Sea.
Based on data from the Marine and Coastal Resources Statistics processed by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the volume of marine aquaculture production in Maluku Province fluctuated. In 2014, when the moratorium policy was first implemented, the volume of marine aquaculture production in Maluku Province decreased by 15.4% from 586,100 tons to 496,000 tons.
In 2015, the volume of marine aquaculture production increased by 43.7% to 712,600 tons. However, in 2016 it decreased again by 15.9% to 599,300 tons. Data from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in Figures 2018 shows that marine capture fisheries production in Maluku Province in 2017 increased slightly by 0.6% to 602,900 tons.
