Indonesia will establish the School for Marine Conservation (SMC) in Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi, to produce experts who will help the country preserve its natural resources, especially the ocean.
Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Minister Fadel Muhammad laid the foundation stone for the center’s building, marking the start of construction on Saturday.
He said the center would train many new officers to manage water conservation areas nationwide, which are expected to reach 20 million hectares by 2020 according to government plans.
