Collaboration Between Government, Businesses and Fishermen’s Organizations: “H@RI” (Fish Habitat) Program Launched in Banyuwangi
The Ministry of Manpower has expressed its appreciation for the Banyuwangi Regional Board of the Indonesian Market Traders Association (DPD APPSI), the All-Indonesia Fishermen’s Association (HNSI), and DAB Nusantara for their collaborative initiative in launching the “H@RI” (Fish Habitat) program.
This was conveyed by the Deputy Minister of Manpower, Afriansyah Noor, during the socialization event for the H@RI program in Banyuwangi on Friday, November 13, 2026.

“We appreciate the initiative and collaboration demonstrated by the Banyuwangi Regional Board of the Indonesian Market Traders Association (DPD APPSI), the All-Indonesia Fishermen’s Association (HNSI), and PT Delta Anugerah Bahari (DAB) Nusantara in taking steps to introduce a program that provides tangible benefits to the community,” said Afriansyah.
According to Afriansyah, Banyuwangi possesses significant marine and fisheries potential. With a coastline spanning 25 sub-districts, this potential must be managed through multi-stakeholder collaboration to generate economic benefits for fishermen and coastal communities.
He further explained that the H@RI (Fish Habitat) program utilizes an applied technology—specifically, artificial fish habitats—designed to serve as breeding grounds for fish.
This technology was developed as an alternative to conventional fish-aggregating devices (known as rumpon), which can potentially pollute the marine environment due to the corrosion of the iron materials used in their construction.
Under this program, the fish habitats will be installed in clusters, each consisting of 50 units covering an area of approximately 500 square meters. These facilities are to be placed about one mile (1.8 kilometers) from the coastline.
This initiative is expected to help fishermen achieve better catch yields. Afriansyah also emphasized the Ministry of Manpower’s readiness to collaborate by providing vocational training for fishermen, specifically in the maintenance and repair of boat engines.
With these skills, fishermen are expected to be able to perform maintenance and repairs independently should they encounter engine trouble while at sea.

“We are prepared to provide training for fishermen, focusing on mechanical skills for maintaining and repairing boat engines,” said Afriansyah.
Afriansyah hopes that the collaboration between the government, business sector, and the fishermen’s organization Habitat Rumah Ikan (H@RI) will continue to develop, ultimately delivering tangible benefits to coastal communities. ***rel

Kolaborasi Pemerintah, Pengusaha & Organisasi Nelayan: Habitat Rumah Ikan H@RI Hadir di Banyuwangi
Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan apresiasi Dewan Pengurus Daerah Asosiasi Pedagang Pasar Seluruh Indonesia (DPD APPSI) Banyuwangi, Himpunan Nelayan Seluruh Indonesia (HNSI), serta DAB Nusantara atas inisiatif kolaborasi dalam mencanangkan Program Habitat Rumah Ikan (H@RI).
Hal ini disampaikan oleh Wakil Menteri Ketenagakerjaan, Afriansyah Noor, dalam acara Sosialisasi Program Habitat Rumah Ikan (H@RI), Banyuwangi, Jumat, 13 November 2026.
“Kami mengapresiasi inisiatif dan kolaborasi yang dilakukan Dewan Pengurus Daerah Asosiasi Pedagang Pasar Seluruh Indonesia (DPD APPSI) Banyuwangi, Himpunan Nelayan Seluruh Indonesia (HNSI), dan PT Delta Anugerah Bahari (DAB) Nusantara dalam mengambil langkah untuk menghadirkan program yang memberikan manfaat bagi masyarakat,” ujar Afriansyah.
Menurut Afriansyah, Banyuwangi memiliki potensi kelautan dan perikanan yang besar. Dengan wilayah pesisir yang membentang di 25 kecamatan, potensi tersebut perlu dikelola melalui kolaborasi berbagai pihak agar dapat memberikan manfaat ekonomi bagi nelayan dan masyarakat pesisir.
Ia juga menjelaskan, Program Habitat Rumah Ikan (H@RI) merupakan teknologi terapan berupa habitat rumah ikan yang berfungsi sebagai tempat ikan berkembang biak.
Teknologi ini dikembangkan sebagai alternatif rumpon konvensional yang dinilai berpotensi mencemari lingkungan laut akibat penggunaan material besi yang mengalami korosi.
Melalui program tersebut, habitat rumah ikan akan dibangun dalam bentuk klaster yang terdiri atas 50 unit dengan luas area sekitar 500 meter persegi. Fasilitas ini ditempatkan sekitar satu mil atau 1,8 kilometer dari garis pantai.
Upaya tersebut diharapkan dapat membantu meningkatkan hasil tangkapan yang lebih baik bagi nelayan.
Afriansyah juga menegaskan kesiapan Kemnaker untuk berkolaborasi melalui penyediaan pelatihan vokasi bagi nelayan khususnya dalam perawatan dan perbaikan mesin kapal.
Dengan keterampilan tersebut, nelayan diharapkan mampu melakukan perawatan maupun perbaikan mesin secara mandiri ketika menghadapi kerusakan saat melaut.
“Kami siap memberikan pelatihan bagi nelayan, terutama keterampilan mekanik untuk merawat dan memperbaiki mesin kapal,” ujar Afriansyah.
Afriansyah berharap kolaborasi antara pemerintah, pelaku usaha, dan organisasi nelayan Habitat Rumah Ikan (H@RI) dapat terus dikembangkan sehingga dapat memberikan manfaat nyata bagi masyarakat pesisir. ***rel
