In the 30 years of working with people living in Indonesia's coastal areas, Riyanto Basuki has discovered that people whose livelihood depended on the sea, tend to be twice as poor as people living off the land. "Their homes are nothing more than huts, even though their income from fishing is not too bad," said Riyanto, 55, director of marine services at the marine and fisheries ministry.
Before he got the job last August, Riyanto was director of coastal communities and business development.

As a graduate in fisheries and marine science from the Bogor Institute of Agriculture (IPB), his current work includes managing coastal environment and empowering people living in coastal areas.
