Indonesia – PT Fresh On Time Seafood (FOTS) continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainable fisheries by distributing environmentally friendly bubu fishing gear to fishermen in eastern Indonesia. The distribution program was carried out in two coastal regions: Lolibu, Muna Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, and Saumlaki, Maluku.

This initiative is part of FOTS’s ongoing efforts to support responsible fishing practices while empowering local fishing communities within its supply chain. By providing bubu fishing gear, FOTS encourages fishermen to shift toward more selective and sustainable fishing methods that help protect marine ecosystems.

The bubu fishing gear is widely recognized as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional fishing nets, as it reduces bycatch and minimizes harm to non-target species. Through this program, fishermen are expected to improve catch efficiency while maintaining the long-term sustainability of marine resources.

The distribution in Lolibu and Saumlaki reflects FOTS’s focus on expanding sustainability programs beyond western Indonesia, ensuring that coastal communities in eastern regions also benefit from responsible fisheries initiatives.

Through direct engagement with local fishermen, PT Fresh On Time Seafood aims to build stronger partnerships, support livelihoods, and promote environmentally responsible fishing practices across Indonesia’s diverse maritime regions.

FOTS plans to continue similar programs in other coastal areas as part of its long-term strategy to support sustainable seafood supply chains and marine conservation.
