The sea offers abundant food resources with strong potential to be processed into value-added products.

Penyunting: Fadilla D Putri

Dalam pidatonya saat dilantik menjadi Presiden Republik Indonesia pada 2014, Joko Widodo mengungkapkan bahwa Indonesia “telah lama memunggungi laut”. Pernyataan tersebut bukannya tanpa alasan, tetapi didasarkan pada pembangunan Indonesia selama ini yang meminggirkan sektor kelautan. Urgensi makin terasa jika melihat bahwa The World Risk Report pada 2014 telah melaporkan bahwa Indonesia berada dalam risiko tinggi atas krisis iklim. Salah satu wilayah rentan saat itu adalah Pantai Utara Jawa yang 44%...
