Harmful Fishing is a practice that we we should stop. Theses are the comprehensive ways to do so.
I. Ban on Blast Fishing
a. Blast Fishing is a practice of using dynamite or other types of bombs to stun or kill fish easily.The problem is that this practice is extremely destructive to the surrounding ecosystems. From the pressure waves created from the bomb, the oceanic floors receive damage, and so does other fish that are not meant to be captured.
b. Our plan is to ban blast fishing.

II. Net with various sizes
a. Currently, there is no regulation in Indonesia relating to the size of the net mashes. However, if commercial fishing continues catching small sized fish, certain generation of fish might disappear causing problems with fish population overall. So we have decided to set a rule about the size of the mashes that fishermen can use. However, we noticed a problem with this policy that if we catch all the big ones, the gene that makes fish big will disappear. Therefore, we are going to regulate fishermen’s net sizes to have various mashes.

III. Usage of Fish Finders
a. Fish vary greatly in size and behavioral patterns. So by using fish finders and will-be-developed technologies to analyze the patterns, we will be able to distinguish which type of fish they are. By using these equipment, we can avoid catching endangered species or species that we should not catch, like the ones we are going to mention further on our next point.

IV. Ban Fishing during mating
season
a. Mating season is an important chances that fishes or other marine lives have to reproduce, to allow continual population growth. Our plan is to ban fishing or collection of marine organisms during mating season. Like what we’ve seen in the case of South Korea, in crab catching, it allows population stability of that particular species.
