Maluku Governor Murad Ismail has declared war on Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti over the foreign vessel moratorium policy, which he deems detrimental to Maluku. According to Murad, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) transports fish from the Arafura Sea for export every month, but Maluku Province receives nothing from these exports.
Following the implementation of the KKP's moratorium policy, the volume of fishery exports in Maluku Province has significantly decreased. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that in 2013, fishery exports in Maluku Province reached 302,900 tons. However, in 2014, the volume of fishery exports decreased by 20.4% to 162,200 tons.
In 2015 and 2016, the decrease exceeded 90%, reaching 97.8% and 99.7% respectively. During 2015, the volume of fishery exports in Maluku Province was only 3,500 tons, while in 2016 it was only 10 tons.
