Seribu Islands Fishermen Need Coral Marker Lights

The Seribu Islands fishermen are requesting coral marker lights replacement in almost entire region. This is because many lamps are damaged or missing.

In Kelapa Island and Harapan Island, none of the lights are on

"In Kelapa Island and Harapan Island, none of the lights are on. Which is why we want them to be replaced. If not, it's very dangerous," expressed Angga Saputra, Secretary of North Seribu Islands Sub-district, Saturday (3/11).

According to Saputra, it is very important for fishermen to help them return after sailing.

Fishermen Must Be More Innovative During Extreme Weather

On the other hand, Seribu Islands Transportation Sub-dept. Head, Robert Edward suspected there were people stealing the lights. Because his side found some lights have been missing from the poles.

"We'll re-inventory for next year's procurement, as well as maintenance for Sea Traffic Signs (SBNP). We also asks them to supervise the lights from the theft," he closed.
