Reclamation of Jakarta Bay Greedily Suck the Sand and 5 Islands lost, Regent Ousted

Do you know what the amount of sand needed to realize the reclamation of 17 artificial islands in the Bay of Jakarta?

Data from the People’s Coalition for Fishery Justice (Kiara) mentioned to reclaim the island per hectare required 632 911 cubic meters of sand. The total area of ​​reclaimed 17 hectares of the island was 5,513. Based on that data, from a simple count can be calculated needs to realize 17 sand island sand as much as needed: 632 911 x 5513 = 3,489,238,343 cubic meters of sand or simplified call it 3.5 billion cubic meters.

The question arises, where sand as much as it earned?

Kiara find mostly sand, among others sucked from the Thousand Islands and were taken illegally by boat Cristobal Colon origin Luxemburg. This ship chartered by PT Energy Marine Indonesia, namely sand supplier to PT Kapuk Naga Indah (a subsidiary of General Sedayu Group) which is known to play a reclamation permit from island A to E. From the information gathered, the ship was able to transport 46 thousand cubic meters once pull.

The latest findings, ship sand scraper Vox Maxima that are doing similar activities in Jakarta Bay. So far it has been noted that the five islands in the Thousand Islands was missing from the 15 islands that had been dredged for sand supply realized for the sake of reclamation. Or from 2 million cubic meters of sand being lost. “This is equivalent to less than one hundredth of the sand needs to create 17 new islands in the Bay of Jakarta,” said Halim.

Besides sucking sand from the Thousand Islands, in the Bay of Jakarta reclamation, sand supply also comes from Lampung, Bangka, Jonggol, Banten, West Java Coast, the northern coast of West Java and the eastern part of the former sand eruption of Krakatau mountain.

From this suction or sand dredging alone is clearly going to have an impact on the ecosystem. Not only in the location of the backfill reclamation only. “But also the location of the damage in the sand,” said Kiara general secretary, Abdul Halim to Aktual.com, Friday (15/4).

Anger Regent, Regent sacked

Regarding the action of the ship Cristobal, in 2015 and then, Thousand Islands Regent Tri Djoko Sri Sumargiono at the time, also had enraged. Because of the action of thieves sand that had been clearly caught it never penalized. Plus it permits the vessel Cristobal Colon also is up as of December 31, 2014.

The regent said the fisherman who proclaim him in early January 2015 about the theft of sand ship Cristobal Colon. Beber Djoko, the five islands of sand stolen DKI lost by the same ship.

Upset, Djoko also reported the case to the Jakarta Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok) and to the Criminal Investigation Department Police Headquarters March 9, 2015 which was then led by Commissioner General Budi Waseso. But the case stalled. Ahok are usually ferociously for matters like this, this time sit alone. Strange.

The strangeness continues. Djoko new positions Thousand Islands Regent of the date of January 2, 2015, shortly removed and appointed directly by Ahok on July 3, 2015 to become Head of DKI Jakarta Water Administration.

Although appointed by Ahok, without testing, Djoko career as Head of Jakarta Water Administration steep walk instead. Ahok continue to criticize him, eg about dredging reservoirs are considered slow. Ahok had circulated the news would kick him. But before that happens, instead Djoko already resigned in early December. Health reasons. But soon he confessed because he felt it was not ‘fit’ work with Ahok.
