PT Berkat Matsya Nusantara (BERMATA) continues to demonstrate its commitment to sustainable fisheries by supporting the marine mammal-safe fishing gear campaign through the distribution of environmentally friendly crab pots (bubu) to fishermen in Lamongan, East Java.

This initiative aims to encourage the use of selective and responsible fishing gear that reduces bycatch and minimizes interactions with marine mammals. By promoting crab pots as an alternative fishing method, PT BERMATA actively contributes to the protection of marine ecosystems while supporting the sustainability of blue swimming crab fisheries.

The distribution of crab pots also strengthens collaboration across the fisheries supply chain, helping fishermen adopt practices that align with international sustainability and marine mammal protection standards.

Through concrete actions like this, PT BERMATA reinforces its role in building a responsible, traceable, and environmentally compliant fisheries supply chain, ensuring long-term benefits for both coastal communities and marine biodiversity.
