Concerted efforts to do so will become more coordinated, structured, and sharp. So, it is no longer sporadic," said Alexander Muhammad Khan, Padjadjaran University researcher who is also Indonesia's representative at the 2023 AIS RnD Conference, in the Forum Merdeka Barat (FMB9) Discussion: Road to the 2023 HLM of the AIS Forum entitled "Concrete Steps to Manage the Ocean" which was held online in Jakarta, on Wednesday, 4 October.</p><p>According to Alex, different strategies are needed to deal with problems on land and sea. It is because regional boundaries on land are visible, unlike on the sea. Therefore, he said, ocean-based challenges such as fisheries and marine problems cannot be solved alone.</p><p>"Therefore, communication forums, such as the Coral Triangle Initiative on Coral Reefs, Fisheries, and Food Security (CTI-CFF) and now the Archipelagic and Island States (AIS) Forum, can become a platform to frame these problems as common problems that can be discussed and be managed together," he explained.</p><p>Alex assessed that Indonesia had taken the right steps in urging other countries to solve their common problems together. "Indonesia is on the right track by becoming one of the initiators of the CTI-CFF in 2009 and the AIS Forum in 2018. This shows Indonesia's vision and leadership at the global level, especially in marine issues," he said.</p><p>In Indonesia, those most affected by climate change are people who live on small islands, such as North Maluku, Maluku, or Papua. Some of the problems are the rising sea levels, plastic waste, and&nbsp;<span style="font-family: var(--bs-body-font-family); font-size: var(--bs-body-font-size); font-weight: var(--bs-body-font-weight); text-align: var(--bs-body-text-align);">the declining fish-catch.</span></p><p>For this reason, Indonesia is trying to work together (hand in hand) with countries that have the same interests and vision to preserve the ocean and marine environment, so that it becomes a joint global action.</p><p>"So, it is not a one-man show, not just one country, but it is a common issue, jointly faced by Indonesia and the archipelagic and island countries at the AIS Forum," said Alexander.</p><p>For him, the Indonesian government already has policies that are in line with the challenges faced by coastal and island communities.</p><p>This policy is considered to be a manifestation of management maturity in the fisheries and marine sector which has been in place for 24 years since 1999, since the establishment of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.</p><p>"For example, with a decrease in the number of fishing catches, the government then issued regulations that limit the fishing gear that can be used, limit fishing locations, and regulate fishing times," said Alex.</p><p>Meanwhile, the AIS Youth Conference 2023 Representative, Engel Laisina, emphasized the importance of inclusiveness, referring to rural and coastal communities.</p><p>"This is important because rural and coastal communities are the ones most affected climate change. Well, I see that so far efforts to prevent or overcome climate change have only been discussed in the urban settings, while those most affected are in the villages," Engel said.</p><p>Therefore, at the 2023 HLM of the AIS Forum, he hopes that all representatives will be able to share knowledge and experience in facing and overcoming the increasingly worrying climate change issues.

In various working areas, the AIS Forum continues its effort to endorse solidarity among the countries.&nbsp;</p><p>These are manifested in various collaboration programmes, such as the Joint-Research program in the field of research and development. Also in the blue economy sector are the acceleration and empowerment programmes for MSMEs and Start-ups in various archipelagic and island&nbsp;</p><p>countries.

Therefore, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government is expected to learn much from the AIS Forum participating countries, particularly in data presentation.&nbsp;</p><p>According to him, DKI can learn from the European Union, which began implementing the blue growth strategy or long-term sustainable economic growth strategy in 2012.&nbsp;</p><p>This strategy identifies five focus areas for blue economic growth: aquaculture, marine tourism, coastal and cruise tourism, marine mineral resources, and blue biotechnology.&nbsp;</p><p>In 2017, the EU already had precise data on maritime potential through the report titled "Blue Growth Strategy Toward More Sustainable Growth and Jobs in the Blue Economy," which assessed what had been learned, what had been achieved since the emergence of the blue economy, what was currently ongoing, and what potential had been overlooked.&nbsp;</p><p>The report showed that research and innovation had always been the EU's main focus, as evidenced by the allocation of US$911.68 million for marine research and innovation projects from 2014 to 2016.&nbsp;</p><p>To attract investors, Ismail stated the development of Jakarta's maritime potential must be clearly understood by foreign countries as a comprehensive, integrated, and sustainable concept.&nbsp;</p><p>Existing maritime potential data also needs to be correlated with economic growth, including per capita income, population, labor force absorption, and various other economic variables.&nbsp;</p><p>"So, the concept must be clear first. It will be a consideration for prospective investors," said Ismail.&nbsp;</p><p>Regulatory readiness for marine spatial management is equally important, to avoid mistakes and reckless exploration, as mandated by current regulation on economic potential optimization and spatial planning.&nbsp;</p><p>The regulation serves as a consideration for foreign countries to obtain security and comfort when investing in the maritime sector, including in the Jakarta region.&nbsp;</p><p>According to World Bank data in 2021, Indonesia has the world's second-largest fisheries sector with a value of around US$27 billion against GDP which provides 7 million jobs, meeting more than 50 percent of global animal protein needs.&nbsp;</p><p>Regarding marine-based food processing, data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) in 2022 showed that the added value of this industry reached Rp29.96 trillion.&nbsp;</p><p>The events surrounding the 1st HLM will be held in Bali on October 10—11 October.
