Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation, is blessed with vast waters and a rich variety of marine commodities, with tuna being the most significant. Tuna not only serves as a primary income source for the country but also supports fishermen and their communities. However, the high value of tuna has led to overfishing, raising concerns about the decreasing population and smaller sizes. Tuna for export must weigh at least 17 kg, adding to the pressure.

My photo project focuses on Hamadi Port in Jayapura, one of Indonesia's largest tuna fishing centers. It captures the traditional methods of bringing, storing, and distributing tuna. Through a street documentary style, I aim to portray the lives of those who rely on tuna for their livelihoods. The project highlights both the economic potential of maritime resources and the need for sustainable policies to ensure long-term benefits for Indonesia’s maritime communities.
