Ban Dynamite Fishing to Preserve Marine Life

Target: President Joko Widodo, Indonesia

Goal: Ban the use of dynamite fishing to protect marine habitats and preserve marine life in Indonesia.

Dynamite fishing is a destructive fishing method that involves the use of explosives to stun and kill fish. This practice not only causes habitat destruction but also results in the deaths of non-targeted marine life, such as coral reefs and endangered species. Dynamite fishing has become a widespread issue in Indonesia, damaging the marine environment and threatening the livelihoods of local communities that rely on sustainable fishing practices.

It is crucial to take immediate action to ban the use of dynamite fishing to protect marine habitats and preserve marine life in Indonesia. This requires the strengthening of law enforcement and governance, along with education and awareness-raising initiatives to promote sustainable fishing practices and alternative livelihoods.

By banning the use of dynamite fishing and promoting sustainable fishing practices, we can protect the marine environment in Indonesia and ensure the long-term wellbeing of its people. We strongly urge President Widodo to take immediate action and support this critical initiative.

Through effective law enforcement and governance, education, and alternative livelihoods, we can ban the use of dynamite fishing and protect the marine environment in Indonesia. Demand President Widodo to take action and support these efforts.
