Mr Ir. Kuncoro Catur Nugroho as Chairman in APRI give an appreciate of the participation research in the third APRI Youth activity. This activity has been carried out since 2018 by selecting students from all universities in Indonesia and funded by 10 research proposals in the first year. In 2019, there were 6 research proposals that were funded. In 2020, there were 5 selected research proposals from 2 Brawijaya University teams, 2 teams from Trunojoyo Madura University and 1 team from the Bogor Agricultural Institute. The collaboration between ABG or Academics, Businessman, and Government who attended the event this morning is a symbol of cooperation that needs to work together in managing fisheries resources.

Marine and Fisheries Government of the East Java also support this research and requesting research results from researchers to be used as the basis for policies in the East Java region so that it is hoped that small crab fisheries can be considered from upstream to downstream.

Dr Hawis Madduppa as an Executive Director APRI explained about APRI Youth Innovation is a step for millennials with idealism, knowledge and high enthusiasm to contribute to the world of fisheries. There are 28 indicators that need to be adhered to by the fishing industry, currently APRI continues to develop these indicators with a program that has been held since 2014. At this time the status of FIP Progress has reached an A rating, which means that fishery activities carried out have been able to maintain and improve conditions. . The status is issued by MSC which is ecolabel. The areas that are the focus are WPP 712 and one of them is Madura, which is the area with the highest contribution of small crabs in the East Java region.
