End our Fishermen’s Laments
This difficult situation is caused by three factors, namely a decline in fishermen’s income, a lack of access to aid and the difficulty of obtaining subsidized fuel (BBM).
A fishing boat in Sepempang Village, East Bunguran District, Natuna, Riau Islands, rests at Teluk Baruk Harbor, Friday (6/3/2020).
As National Fishermen’s Day was commemorated on Wednesday (6/4/2022), what was heard from fishermen themselves was still mostly complaints and lamentation.
