Small-scale fishers call for restrictions on bottom trawling in Indonesia

Alhafiz Atsari, former Head of International Relations at the Indonesian Traditional Fisherfolk Union (KNTI) explains how small-scale fishers have the knowledge to sustainably manage fisheries and contrasts this with industrial bottom trawling, which is driving fisheries decline in parts of Indonesia. Bottom trawling has been banned in Indonesia for nearly 40 years, but enforcement can be a challenge.
