A former Indonesian minister has appealed to the Supreme Court to cancel a regulation banning the export of lobster seeds, arguing that the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries lacked the authority to enforce such a rule. The appeal, filed on behalf of a seafood company and small fishermen, contends that the Ministry of Trade should have jurisdiction over export regulations. The petition also points out conflicts with other laws and regulations, and criticizes the potential economic impact on fisheries. It proposes that the government should manage exports, using revenue to fund domestic lobster farming, and only ban exports if domestic production is sufficient.
