SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS
SDG 14: LIFE BELOW WATER
“The two SDGs that look at the broader ecosystem divide it into Life Below Water, and Life on Land. The oceans, and the rivers and watersheds that link to them, are the largest part of our ecosystem. 40% of the world’s population lives within 100km of the coast, and we all rely – directly or indirectly – on the sea.”

Raising awareness about overfishing, IUU fishing and destructive fishing practices
An Alternative Way to Overcome IUU Fishing in Natuna
Dr Jonson Lumban Gaol, IPB University lecturer from the Department of Marine Science and Technology shares his views on the practice of illegal fishing (IUU fishing) in the Natuna by the foreign fishermen. According to him, there are three things that Indonesians need to do to reduce the theft of marine resources in Natuna, namely continuous monitoring and supervision of foreign fishing vessels sailing in Indonesian waters by various methods, such as unconventional methods with satellite technology; strengthening the surveillance system for fishing vessels in Indonesian waters by integrating existing technology, and developing fishing fleets or vessels, especially for Indonesian fishermen at national borders, so fishermen can optimally use our marine resources.
Public discussion on potential economic impacts of IUU Fishing in Indonesia
Dr. Lucky Adrianto, an IPB University Experts, discussed the potential economic impact of IUU Fishing together with other reviewers from the RPOA-IUU Secretaria. In this forum reviewers and participants discuss several methodological elements to overcome IUU fishing, including utilising data from overlayed satellite imagery and VMS, integrating vessels’ operational criteria and underscoring the unreported and unregulated fishing aspects within Fisheries Management Area 718.

IPB University’s TREKFish Technology Has Been Used by Crab Fishermen in Several Areas
Researchers at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) IPB University succeeded in developing TREKFish technology. A tool used to track fishing trails (fish, crab, lobster and others) equipped with fishER™ software (Fisheries Electronic Reporting). The research team consisting of Prof. Indra Jaya, Dr. Hawis Madduppa and Muhammad Iqbal, SPi, MSi saw that the high demand for crab meat processing had an impact on increasing the intensity of crab catching. This causes the current crab population to experience overfishing and critical, so it needs to be managed.

Maintaining a local ecosystem
IPB has a plan to minimise physical, chemical and/or biological alteration of related aquatic ecosystem. This plan are integrated in Green Campus Initiatives movement and was mentioned in Green Campus Academic Paper. Minimizing Alteration of Aquatic Ecosystem especially mentioned in Chapter 4, Sub-Chapter 4.3. (Page 51); Chapter 5.4 (Page 77) & Chapter 6.3 (Page 112). (Ev 1a and 1b). The Green Campus Team of IPB University is an ongoing and forthcoming study in the campus’ existing operational activities to be annually held in compliance with current regulations in Indonesia.
It is implemented based on the Standard Operational Procedures on Hazardous Waste Treatment supervised by the Directorate of General Affairs.
IPB collaborates with third parties to manage these hazardous waste
The PPLH IPB team carried out monitoring of sites/reservoirs in DKI Jakarta
The PPLH IPB team carried out monitoring of sites/reservoirs in DKI Jakarta which were included in the management priority category. The lakes/reservoirs that are the focus of this review are Situ Rawa Badung and Situ Customs which are adjacent to residential areas. For comparison, the team also monitored Situ Rawa Gelam which is included in the management area of the Pulo Gadung Industrial Estate (Jakarta Industrial Estate Pulogadung-JIEP).
From the results of this monitoring, the team identified the types of pollutant sources that might enter the water body, visually observed the condition of the in situ water body and the location of waste generation around the lake/reservoir which has the potential to pollute the aquatic environment. The presence of waste generation entering the reservoir/reservoir accelerates the process of silting up, clogging the inlet and outlet water channels.

PKSPL IPB University Monitors on Environmental Quality of Eastuary Area in Bengawan Solo River
PKSPL IPB University monitors environmental quality, flora, and fauna in Ujung Pangkah, East Gresik. The Ujung Pangkah area is an estuary area of the Bengawan Solo River. Its existence has become very important for the coastal life support system. The government has designated this area as one of the Mangrove Essential Ecosystem Areas through the Minister of Forestry Letter No. S.729/Menhut – IV/2012 and complemented by the Decree of the Governor of East Java No. 188/309/KPTS/013/2020. This site is an Internationally designated location as a wetland habitat of Global importance. This area is a habitat for various aquatic and terrestrial biota, a migration area for migratory birds (especially Pelicans), and a location for livelihoods such as fishermen or fish farmers. This monitoring was routinely carried out every year, and in 2021 it conducted for about one week (1-7 November 2021). This monitoring aimed at the quality of the physical environment (such as air, sedimentation, and air), the quality of flora and fauna, and the social and economic conditions of the community.
