WORLD OCEAN DAY CELEBRATION

Good morning everyone

Which I respect all my friends and audience

Let us together offer adoration, praise, and gratitude to the presence of Allah SWT, God of the
Universe, because of his blessings, mercy and guidance we can all gather in good health. Blessings and
greetings may be bestowed on our master - the best human being of all time, namely the great Prophet
Muhammad SAW and all his family and friends. Hopefully we will all get his intercession later. Amen.

On this auspicious occasion, on June 8 to be precise, allow me to deliver a speech in

commemoration of the World Ocean Day. Hopefully the speech delivered can provide the maximum
benefit in guiding all of us to be wise in managing the potential of the sea, especially the Indonesian sea.

Dear my beloved frieds,

Indonesia is an archipelago country where 2/3 of its territory is ocean. Indonesia's marine
potential is a huge potential to continue to be developed. 70% of Indonesia's territory is ocean. As much
as 14 percent of the world's coral reefs are in Indonesia. It is estimated that more than 2,500 species of
fish and 500 species of coral live in it. The wealth of marine biota in Indonesia is something that should
be maintained and developed wisely.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The huge potential of Indonesia's sea is a challenge that must be faced by this nation. The sea
area from Sabang to Merauke is a big mandate that must be borne by this nation by managing and
utilizing the potential of the sea wisely. Furthermore, Indonesia's maritime potential is expected to
become a world maritime axis like the vision rolled out by President Joko Widodo who emphasized that
it is hoped that Indonesia will become a world maritime axis which is manifested in the form of
Indonesia as a maritime force that is united (unity), prosperous (prosperity), and authoritative (dignity).

Finally, by asking the presence of Allah SWT, I hope that this series of World Ocean Day
Commemorations can provide inspiration and motivation in managing and utilizing the potential of the
sea in a responsible manner. And may we all be given the strength to build the nation and state towards
a maritime nation that is advanced, strong and independent. That's all and thank you..
