The Customs and Excise Directorate General is ramping up its efforts to safeguard Indonesia’s maritime borders, emphasizing its commitment to combating illegal activities and protecting the nation’s extensive marine resources. The Directorate General has detailed its intensified measures to address rising concerns over illegal fishing, smuggling, and other maritime infractions.
As part of its strengthened approach, the Directorate General has increased patrols and surveillance operations across Indonesia’s vast territorial waters. The deployment of advanced monitoring technologies and enhanced coordination with other government agencies are key components of this strategy. By integrating real-time data and expanding its operational reach, the Directorate aims to better detect and respond to illicit activities.
Recent operations have led to significant seizures, including illegal fishing vessels and contraband. These actions are part of a broader initiative to preserve marine biodiversity and ensure sustainable management of Indonesia’s rich marine resources. The Directorate General’s efforts are also crucial for supporting local fishing communities and maintaining economic stability in coastal areas.
To enhanced surveillance and enforcement, the Directorate General is investing in community outreach and educational programs. These initiatives are designed to raise awareness about maritime regulations and encourage public cooperation in reporting illegal activities.
