PT Bumi Menara Internusa (BMI) Distributes Crab Pots to Strengthen Sustainable Blue Swimming Crab Fisheries in Madura

PT BMI continues its commitment to sustainable blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) fisheries by distributing environmentally friendly crab pots (bubu) to its supply chain partners in Kwanyar, Bangkalan, Madura. This initiative is part of PT BMI’s ongoing efforts to promote responsible fishing practices while strengthening the livelihoods of coastal fishing communities.

The distribution of crab pots supports the transition toward more sustainable and selective fishing gear, helping reduce bycatch and minimizing risks to marine mammals. By encouraging the use of crab pots, PT BMI actively contributes to marine mammal-safe fisheries and aligns with international sustainability standards for blue swimming crab exports.

This program reflects PT BMI’s role in building a responsible blue swimming crab supply chain, ensuring long-term resource sustainability, protecting marine ecosystems, and supporting Indonesia’s position in the global sustainable seafood market.

Through concrete actions like this, PT BMI demonstrates that sustainable fisheries are not just a commitment, but a shared responsibility across the entire supply chain.
