Prolog
Desember 2010 ditutup dengan capaian minimalis (untuk tidak mengatakan gagal) negosiasi iklim di Cancun, Meksiko. Tak ada raihan fundamental yang bermanfaat bagi masyarakat kepulauan seperti Indonesia. Alurnya masih bussiness as usual.

Extreme weather has seen catches decline and sea accidents increase in the Java Sea, a report says.

The People’s Coalition for Fisheries Justice (Kiara) in its latest report said extreme weather had redced the number of times the average traditional fisherman went to sea to 160 to 180 times per year from previously 240 to 300 times per year, which equals to a 50 to 70 percent decrease.

“

Many fishermen have earned only Rp 40,000 [US$4.44] after fishing the entire day. Some even go home with nothing,” said the coalition’s secretary-general, Riza Damanik, at the launch of a report titled Climate Change and Anthropogenic Impacts in the Java Sea.

The research has also observed traditional fishermen’s activities in coastal areas in other areas in the country, including Sibolga on the western coast of Sumatra, Langkat and Serdang Bedagai in North Sumatra, Tarakan in northern East Kalimantan and Manado Bay in North Sulawesi.
