Jakarta, Indonesia – The Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Diponegoro (FPIK UNDIP), has strengthened its partnership with the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF). Both institutions aim to support sustainable fisheries management. The Dean of FPIK UNDIP, Prof. Agus Trianto, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., signed a Cooperation Agreement as part of this commitment.
The Directorate General of Capture Fisheries, MMAF, organized the event from October 22 to 27, 2026. The event took place at Hotel Aone, Menteng, Central Jakarta. Its agenda included a coordination meeting and cooperation agreement signings with universities. In addition, the program featured the launch and discussion of a book entitled “Transformasi Tata Kelola Perikanan Indonesia: Penerapan Penangkapan Ikan Terukur Mendukung Ekonomi Biru” (Transformation of Indonesian Fisheries Governance: Implementing Measured Fishing to Support the Blue Economy).
The event aimed to strengthen cooperation among government institutions, universities, businesses, and development partners. Through this collaboration, the participants seek to support the Measured Fishing Policy and the Red and White Fishing Village Program (Kampung Nelayan Merah Putih/KNMP).
FPIK UNDIP Dean Signs Cooperation Agreement with MMAF
The signing of the Cooperation Agreement by Prof. Agus Trianto marks an important step in strengthening institutional cooperation. Through this agreement, FPIK UNDIP aims to expand its academic contribution to Indonesia’s marine and fisheries sectors.
Furthermore, the partnership creates opportunities for universities to support government programs. These contributions include education, research, innovation, and community service. Academic research can also provide scientific insights into fisheries management.
For FPIK UNDIP, this partnership supports the implementation of the Three Pillars of Higher Education, known in Indonesia as Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi. Therefore, the faculty continues to promote science and technology. These efforts support responsible marine and fisheries resource management.
Supporting Measured Fishing and the Blue Economy
The Measured Fishing Policy represents one of the government’s efforts to improve sustainable fisheries management. Through this policy, the government seeks to optimize fishery resources while protecting the marine environment.
Moreover, the blue economy approach encourages responsible marine resource use. It also promotes a balance between economic growth, ecosystem conservation, and coastal community welfare.
Universities play an important role in supporting these goals. For example, they can provide scientific studies, research findings, and innovative solutions. As a result, cooperation between FPIK UNDIP and MMAF can strengthen science-based policymaking.
Supporting the 2027 Kampung Nelayan merah Putih Program
The coordination meeting also discussed preparations for potential locations of the Kampung Nelayan Merah Putih Program (KNMP) in the 2027 fiscal year. This government initiative aims to develop fishing communities and improve the welfare of coastal residents.
To achieve these goals, the government needs strong support from universities and other stakeholders. Research and reliable data can help identify local needs and opportunities. Furthermore, scientific recommendations can guide program planning and development.
Through stronger cooperation with MMAF, FPIK UNDIP aims to contribute to Indonesia’s marine and fisheries development. This partnership also supports sustainable fisheries governance and the blue economy. Ultimately, the collaboration seeks to improve the welfare of fishing communities across Indonesia.
