He said KKP in the era of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono showed his concern in promoting a balance in the use of marine space, including in Raja Ampat.
Antam also explained that one of the crucial mandates is related to foreign investment in the use of small islands and the surrounding waters.
The Job Creation Law, he continued, also regulates the mechanism for foreign investment so that it is truly beneficial to the surrounding community and does not harm the sustainability of marine and fishery resources.
“In accordance with the mandate of Article 26A, foreign investment must meet business permits from the Central Government and must comply with the laws and regulations in the investment sector,” said Antam.
