The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries is providing managerial training to 5,153 prospective managers of the Red and White Fishermen's Village as an effort to prepare human resources who will manage the coastal economic area professionally.
Head of the Marine and Fisheries Human Resources Extension and Development Agency (BPPSDM KP) I Nyoman Radiarta in a statement in Jakarta, Saturday, said the training took place from July 17-29, 2026 simultaneously at 10 TNI educational.
According to Nyoman, the training is a strategic step to ensure that KNMP management is productive, professional, and sustainable.
He explained that KNMP not only focuses on infrastructure development, but is also designed as a coastal economic center equipped with various fisheries business facilities, ranging from ice factories, cold storage, culinary centers, ship repair shops, to supply kiosks.
Therefore, Nyoman continued, the success of the program is not only measured by the availability of facilities, but also the ability of managers to create productive economic activities, open up employment opportunities, and improve the welfare of fishing communities.
