The decision was announced by Indonesian Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono in Nice, France, on June 10, during the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (<a href=\"https:\/\/sdgs.un.org\/conferences\/ocean2025\">UNOC3<\/a>) [1].<\/p>\n\n<p>Moving forward, Greenpeace Indonesia urges the government to strengthen its leadership to increasingly mainstream a human rights-based approach in all protection and management efforts for the sustainable future of the ocean, both within and outside the national territory, in line win line with the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), including the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF).<\/p>\n\n<p>Greenpeace Indonesia also encourages the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other relevant institutions to be more proactive in ensuring Indonesia&#8217;s readiness for the implementation\u2013especially once the Global Ocean Treaty will be in force within 120 days after at least 60 countries have ratified it.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Afdillah, Greenpeace Indonesia Ocean Campaign Team Lead:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis is a momentum to ensure that the 5 Priority Blue Economy Programs initiated by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries are implemented effectively by ensuring meaningful multi-stakeholder participation, transparency, stronggenuine sustainability and fairness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Arifsyah Nasution, Greenpeace Southeast Asia Ocean Campaigner and Global Lead for Beyond Seafood Campaign:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to Indonesia for becoming the 50th country globally and the 4th in the Southeast Asia region, after Singapore, Timor Leste and Vietnam, to ratify the Global Ocean Treaty. We really look forward to welcoming more countries in Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region to follow suit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAside from the BBNJ, a number of civil society elements and labor movements have also been urging the government to immediately ratify ILO Convention 188 on Work in Fishing [3]. Ratification of C-188 is urgent so that decent working conditions and the rights of Indonesian fishing crews, both those working on Indonesian-flagged fishing vessels and on foreign-flagged fishing vessels outside the Indonesian fisheries management area, can be increasingly protected. This is also a form of commitment and effort to implement effective and progressive policies, a real manifestation of Indonesia&#8217;s exemplary diplomacy in the international arena.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Notes for Editors:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>[1] <a href=\"https:\/\/estatements.unmeetings.org\/estatements\/14.0496\/20250610150000000\/-FQRtqjV\/UHoXfPfmobrz_nce_UNOC25_en.pdf\">Indonesia&#8217;s Declaration<\/a> at UNOC3 on June 10, 2025, by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Vela Andapita, Global Communications Coordinator for Beyond Seafood Campaign at Greenpeace Southeast Asia, +62-817-5759-449, vela.andapita@greenpeace.org<\/p>\n\n<p>Afdillah, Greenpeace Indonesia Ocean Campaign Team Lead, +62-811-4704-730, afdillah@greenpeace.org<\/p>\n\n<p>Arifsyah Nasution, Greenpeace Southeast Asia Ocean Campaigner and Global Lead for Beyond Seafood Campaign, +62-811-400-350, arifsyah.nasution@greenpeace.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nice\/Jakarta, June 11, 2025 \u2013 Greenpeace Indonesia welcomes the Indonesian government decision to ratify the Global Ocean Treaty, also known as Biodiversity Beyond National Jurisdiction (BBNJ).
