Padang (ANTARA News) - West Sumatra Governor Marlis Rahman said 185 islets in the waters of the province had been given names as identity of ownership of the Indonesian people.
Most of the islets are unoccupied, he said in Padang Tuesday.
The small islands are located in the waters of seven regencies/cities, namely the cities of Padang and Pariaman, Pesisir Selatan, Padang Pariaman, Agam, Pasaman Barat and Mentawai Islands.
The names given to the islets are based on local terms, dialects and culture, he said.
Security and control are also carried out by empowering the fishermen operating near the small islands, he added.
He said the security and control are maintained by public supervisory groups.
Periodic control and supervision is also carried out by provincial, regency/city administration personnel and routine supervision by navy personnel.
