JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The Indonesian government is preparing a long-term solution to tackle the entry of foreign boats, including Chinese ones, into the country’s exclusive economic zone in the North Natuna Sea. Increasing patrols in the region will be followed by amending regulations that often lead to overlapping sea patrols.
More effective security measures are hoped to make Indonesian fishermen safer in the North Natuna Sea exclusive economic zone (EEZ) in Riau Islands. Therefore, Indonesia will enjoy a higher presence in the marine region.
