On the same occasion, the fishing consortium also agrees to support and compliant to the government measured fishing policy. The consortium realizes that measured fishing policy is necessary for ecological balance to maintain the health of the sea.
After the signing of this cooperation agreement, Jababeka Morotai together with Ocean Mitramas and Indo Numfor Pacific promptly visited Morotai SEZ, in order to complete all the preparation necessary so that the project can be started as soon as possible.
Basuri Tjahaja Purnama, the President Director of PT Jababeka Morotai, warmly welcomes the consortium cooperation and hopes that this will be a successful collaboration, considering Morotai Island has an incredible potential for fishery.

It means that fishery productivity in Morotai Island is still relatively low.
