Kunjungi Keramba Jaring Apung Kabuena, Pj Gubernur Rumasukun Serahkan Bantuan

SERUI - Penjabat Gubernur Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun dalam kunjungan kerja hari kedua di Kabupaten Kepulauan Yapen, Kamis (19/10/2023) pagi, menyerahkan bantuan di Keramba Jaring Apung, Kabuena, Distrik Yapen Selatan, Serui. 

Bantuan yang diserahkan berupa tiga unit motor tempel, Sarana Produksi Ikan (Saprodi) pengembangan rumput laut dan benih kultur jaringan rumput laut. 

“Tadi bapak Gubernur menyerahkan bantuan dari dana Otsus 2023 berupa tiga unit motor tempel, tiga paket budi daya pengembangan rumput laut (di Amtomoy, Sarawandoro dan Ambai). 

Kemudian bibit rumput laut melalui sistem kultur jaringan yang ditempatkan di kebun bibit Sarwandori.” 

“Sedangkan untuk motor tempel diserahkan kepada tiga kelompok usaha perikanan di Meredi, Ambai dan Yantemoi,” terang Kepala Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Papua, Iman Djuniawal, disela-sela kunjungan tersebut. 

Wilayah perairan Kabuena, Distrik Yapen Selatan, Serui, Kabupaten Kepulauan Yapen sebelumnya telah ditetapkan sebagai kampung budidaya sebagaimana SK Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan. Dengan begitu, Kepala Dinas Iman Djuniawal berharap pemerintah segera membangun Pelabuhan Perikanan di wilayah setempat guna mendukung aktifitas pengembangan ekonomi masyarakat. Lebih khusus pada komoditas rumput laut dan ikan baramudi yang diharapkan menjadi komoditas ekspor bagi Kabupaten Kepulauan Yapen kedepan. 

“Sehingga di Kabuena ini kedepan bisa jadi kawasan sentra produksi yang terintegrasi karena sudah ada Stasiun Pengisian Bahan Bakar Nelayan (SPBN) dan rencana Pemprov Papua membangun cold storage guna menyimpan produksi ikan.” 

“Kita minta dukungan optimalisasi unit perbenihan yang berada di Kabuena agar bisa segera beroperasi. Sehingga bibit ikan seperto baramudi bisa dibibitkan disitu,” harap ia. ***

SERUI - Acting Governor of Papua Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun during his second-day working visit to Yapen Islands Regency, Thursday (19/10/2023) morning, handed over aid in the Floating Net Cage, Kabuena, South Yapen District, Serui. He handed over three units of outboard motors, Fish Production Facilities for seaweed development and seaweed tissue culture seeds.

"Earlier, the Governor handed over assistance from the 2023 Special Autonomy fund in the form of three units of outboard motors, and three seaweed development cultivation packages (in Amtomoy, Sarawandoro and Ambai). Then the seaweed seeds go through a tissue culture system placed in the Sarwandori nursery." "They handed over outboard motorcycles to three fishery business groups in Meredi, Ambai and Yantemoi," explained the Head of the Papua Marine and Fisheries Service, Iman Djuniawal, on the sidelines of the visit.  

The waters of Kabuena, South Yapen District, Serui, Yapen Islands Regency had previously been designated as a cultivation village as per the Decree of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. That way, the Head of the Iman Djuniawal Office hopes that the government will immediately build a Fishing Port in the local area to support community economic development activities. More specifically, seaweed and Barramundi fish commodities are expected to become export commodities for Yapen Islands Regency in the future.

"Kabuena will become an integrated production center area because there is already a Fisherman Fuel Station (SPBN) and the Papua Provincial Government's plan to build cold storage to store fish production." "We ask for support in optimizing the seed unit in Kabuena so that it can operate immediately. The fish seeds such as Barramundi can be seeded there," he hoped. ***
