DKP Papua Tingkatkan Pengetahuan dan Keterampilan Nelayan Depapre

Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan (DKP) Papua terus berupaya meningkatkan kapasitas, pengetahuan dan keterampilan nelayan di seluruh bumi cenderawasih.

Kali ini, DKP Papua menyasar nelayan di Depapre, Kabupaten Jayapura, lewat pelatihan peningkatan kapasitas SDM, di Pelabuhan Perikanan Waiya Depapre, Rabu (28/7/2021).

Dalam kegiatan tersebut, turut hadir Kepala Dinas Perikanan Kabupaten Jayapura, Kepala Pelabuhan Perikanan Waiya Depapre, serta asosiasi nelayan maupun unsur teknis DKP Papua dan Kabupaten Jayapura.

Menurut Plt. Kepala DKP Papua Ir. Iman Djuniawal, pelatihan yang digelar sehari sebelumnya itu bertujuan mengembangkan ketrampilan serta potensi nelayan di bidang perikanan tangkap.

“Apalagi wilayah Depapre Kabupaten Jayapura ini terkenal dengan ikan tangkapannya, yakni tuna, tongkol dan cakalang,” kata Iman, dalam sambungan telepon, Kamis (29/7/2021).

Menurut Iman, hal penting yang disampaikan kepada nelayan adalah pengenalan jenis-jenis alat tangkap berdasarkan kliasifikasi. Selain itu, menginformasikan regulasi penempatan maupun penggunaan alat tangkap ikan, agar penggunaan tepat sasaran dan tidak melanggar ketentuan aturan UU.

Sementara metode yang digunakan, yakni lewat sistem pembelajaran orang dewasa (androgogi) yang diintegrasikan dengan diskusi, tanya jawab maupun ceramah.

“Ada pula praktek merangkai alat tangkap hand line, trolling lines,  dan rawai tuna. Dimana dari lewat kegiatan ini, para nelayan lebih memahami jenis alat tangkap tetapi juga dapat mengoperasikannya”.

“Dengan demikian, mereka akan lebih baik dan mandiri. Bahkan kedepan kita akan mendorong para nelayan di Papua agar tak hanya dapat mengoperasikan kapal berukuran < 5 GT dengan alat tangkapnya, tetapi juga kapal besar diatas > 10 GT yang tentunya akan dipersiapkan SDM dari sisi keterampilan teknis nautika dan teknikanya,” ucap ia.

Sementara itu, Kabid Produksi Kelautan dan Perikanan DKP Provinsi Papua Yan E Wayeni, berharap lewat kegiatan pelatihan, mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan nelayan pada usaha penangkapan ikan.

“Mulai perencanaan serta penangkapan. Artinya mereka bisa mempraktekkan langsung ilmu yang didapatkan untuk bisa meningkatkan produksi hasil tangkapan dengan lebih baik,” harapnya.

Marine Affairs and Fisheries Department (DKP) of Papua continues to strive to improve the capacity, knowledge and skills of fishermen in Papua.

This time, the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Department of Papua targeted fishermen in Depapre, Jayapura District, through human resources capacity building training, at Waiya Depapre Fishing Port, Wednesday (7/28/2021).

The activity was also attended by the Head of The Fisheries Office of Jayapura Regency, Head of Waiya Depapre Fishing Port, as well as fishermen's associations and technical elements of the Papua Marine Affairs and Fisheries Department and Jayapura Districts.

According to Acting Head of Papua Marine Affairs and Fisheries Department, Ir. Iman Djuniawal, the training held the day before was aimed at developing the skills and potential of fishermen in the field of fishing.

"Moreover, Depapre area of Jayapura District is famous for the fish, namely tuna, cob and skipjack," said Iman by phone, Thursday (7/29/2021).

According to Iman, the important thing presented to fishermen is the introduction of types of fishing equipment based on classification. In addition, inform the regulation of placement and use of fishing equipment, so that the use is on target and does not violate the provisions of the Law.

While the method used, namely through the adult learning system (andragogi) integrated with discussions, Q&A and lectures.

"There is also the practice of stringing hand line fishing gear, trolling lines, and rawai tuna. By this activity, the fishermen better understand the type of fishing equipment but can also operate it".

"Thus, they will be better and independent. Even in the future we will encourage fishermen in Papua to not only be able to operate < 5 GT vessels with fishing gear, but also large vessels over 10 GT > that will certainly be prepared by human resources in terms of technical skills," he said.

Meanwhile, Head of Production Sector of Papua Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Yan E Wayeni hopes that training activities can increase the knowledge of fishermen in fishing efforts.

“In planning and catching, they can practice the knowledge gained to increase the catches production," he hoped.
