        "content": "<p>Marine exploration<\/p>\n<p>From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n<p>As a nationalist and a citizen of the Republic of Indonesia, I<br>\nam proud of the initiative taken by President Abdurrahman Wahid<br>\nto set up the Marine Explorations and Fishery Ministry, one of<br>\nthe ministries in his National Unity Cabinet. The establishment<br>\nof this particular ministry leads us to high hopes that the glory<br>\nof the Indonesian people as a seafaring nation in the olden days<br>\nmay soon return and Indonesia may prove itself to be united<br>\narchipelagic state.<\/p>\n<p>However, the ministry has hardly done anything in its, so far,<br>\nnine months of existence. Only the government may know why this<br>\nis so. One curious thing to a layman like me, for example, is<br>\nthat it is not clear where the office of this ministry is. Then,<br>\nmany of its human resources are former lecturers. Certainly they<br>\nare strong in theory but, unfortunately, rather weak in practice.<\/p>\n<p>A website on maritime news -- maritimdo.com -- for example,<br>\nwrites that the minister of marine exploration and fishery,<br>\nhimself being known to be a proactive, communicative and easily<br>\nunderstood person usually close to the people, cannot do much<br>\nbecause those under him lean too heavily on theories.<\/p>\n<p>Then, we also have heard that the President has set up an<br>\nIndonesian Maritime Council, an agency attached to the Ministry<br>\nof Maritime Exploration and Fishery. Unfortunately, we have heard<br>\nnext to nothing about its activities. It has been reported that<br>\nthis council has held, together with the Association of the<br>\nNetherlands and Indonesia, a workshop on fishermen's<br>\ncommunication radio but we have heard nothing about its outcome.<\/p>\n<p>So, here are some words of encouragement to the Ministry of<br>\nMaritime Exploration and Fishery: Make sure that the community is<br>\nkept informed of your activities.<\/p>\n<p>ACHMAD NURYADI<\/p>\n<p>Jakarta<\/p>",
