This means that the level of pollution is almost, almost not too serious,” Hanif said at a press conference in Pullman, Central -Jakarta, Sunday (8/6/2026). Photos related to mining conditions in Raja Ampat Regency, Southwest Papuea for the period 26-31 May 2025 (DWI Rahmawati/Detikcom), Hanif said there was a need for deeper data collection on Gag Island run by PT GN. He mentioned four companies there, namely PT GN, Pt ASP, PT KSM and PT Mrb managed mines on small islands. “Because this sedimentation has naturally covered the surfaces of the coral, there are different steps we have to take. So I will say that all these islands are generally filled, surrounded by corals,” Hanif said. “Coral as a habitat that we must maintain its existence is very important for our lives, especially those who will be empty, later at sea. That’s what we have to explore again,” he added. He mentions the area of mining openings by PT GN on Gag Island of 187.87 hectares. It is said that if PT GN is included in 13 companies that are allowed to continue the contract in the forest area based on the number 19 of 2004 regarding the establishment of Perpu No.1 of 2004 as law. The Portrait of Manuran Island run by PT ASP Hanif said that the environmental approval for PT ASP was given by the Regent of Raja Ampat Regency. He said the document has not yet entered the Ministry of Environment. “The environmental approval for Pt ASP was therefore issued by the Regent of Raja Ampat Regency No. 75B in 2006. So the document was not in the US so far. We will later ask us to be submitted for further review,” he said. The LH Minister then showed damage on the island of Manuran, Raja Ampat, where there was a turbulence on the coastline. It is said that if the vesting dam or the deposition of the mining was broken there to pollute the beach. “This is the position of friends. At the time of supervision, there is indeed a vesting dam and a broken incident. And it causes environmental pollution, beach trips are quite large. And of course these are consequences that should be responsible for the company,” Minister Hanif said. He said Pt ASP should increase the handling of the environment due to mining. The Minister of LH has also highlighted environmental management that has not yet been owned by Pt ASP. “So it looks different from the other PT (PT GN). This PT is indeed somewhat to handle the environment somewhat should be improved,” Hanif says. “So he does not have its environmental management yet, so that the environmental conditions are not very good for those in Pt ASP on Manuran Island,” he added. The portrait of Kawei Island run by PT KSM Hanif said that mining at PT Kawei Sejahtera Mining (KSM) was also on the small island of the Raja Ampat region. He revealed that there was an activity of PT KSM that is beyond the approval of the use of 5 hectares of forest areas (PPKH). “Based on digital studies, there are land opening activities that exceed the location of the loan use of the forest area, which is naturally based on environmental approval, which violates environmental approval,” Hanif said.

The portrait of the island of Manyifun and Batang Pele run by PT MRP Hanif said the two islands run by Pt Mulia Raymond Perkasa, namely Manyifun Island (21 ha) and Batang Pele Island (2,031,25 ha). He calls the new PT MRP at the exploration stage. “Based on the field of field surveillance, the activities are only in exploration activities, so there is an installation of board points at 10 points,” Hanif said. He said the Ministry of Environmental Affairs (LH) stopped the exploration activities of PT MRP. Hanif said there are no significant actions there. “This position of field supervision has also stopped us from being conducted exploration activities at PT MRP to stop further activities.
