A small crab fishing boat moored at the Karangsong estuary, Indramayu Regency, West Java, Monday (26/10/2020). For more than a month small fishermen have not gone to sea because of the lack of catch.
Lack of government support and protection, as well as lack of capital are the biggest challenges in the effort to improve fishermen\'s welfare. This conclusion was recorded from the results of Kompas polling in the third week of October.
As many as 63.6 percent of respondents said small and medium fishermen (owners of boats or fishing boats weighing less than 10 gross ton) felt they had poor welfare. Only 21 percent of respondents felt the fishermen\'s welfare had improved.
