Catching crime

Indonesia, the world’s largest archipelago – consisting of approximately 17,000 islands spread across nearly 2 million square kilometres – also holds, at over 80,000 km, its second longest coastline. Sixty per cent of its population lives in the coastal area. So it is no surprise that fishing is one of our biggest economic activities. And soon after Joko Widodo was elected as the President of the Republic of Indonesia, he made a political commitment to reclaim the nation's status as a global maritime axis.
