However, in this era, the ocean and the fishery sector of Indonesia confront the new challenge called Asian Economy Society (MEA). The Policy of accelerating the Ocean and the fishery industrialization is one of the strategic step to face MEA. It must be sinergistic with the increase of the trade performance between islands. The increase of the trade performance between islands could be done by constructing new harbor through the approachment of “Tol Laut” and the change of consumer behavior. It will affect in : (1) The increase of market share in the ocean and the fishery comodity in Global Market ; (2) The Acceleration of the Ocean and the fishery industrialization ; (3) The increase of value of the ocean and the fishery comodity ; (4) The increase of The state’s income ; (5) The increase of fhiserman and fish farmer prosperity ; (6) The Defense of The Unity of the Republic of Indonesia. Key Word : MEA, trade between Islands, performance, Industrialization INTRODUCTION Indonesia is a maritime country with many unutilize resources and has many experiences in the world trade pass through ocean (Anshory dan Arbaningsih, 2008; Wolters, 2011; Caro, 2012). Therefore, this is the appropriate time for Indonesia to conduct reorientation of the paradigm of development. The reorientation consist of two of the fundamental thing. The first, the reorientation focus in the construction from the basis of the landing resources to the basis of the ocean resources. The second, that puIDRose of the ocean construction should be not only to pursue but also to create the economy development, to distribute the prosperity (social equity), and to maintain the resources, the coastal area quality and the ocean in balance (Dahuri, 2003). The reorientation of the paradigm of the construction idea is not only base on potential, oportunity, problem, costraint, and condition of the ocean construction but also consider on influence of the strategic area of the national constraction such as the globalisation and the regional autonomy. This sector has high potential, strategic, and high competitiveness in the international trade. If the potency of the big fishery and ocean of Indonesia is managed carefully such as other sector (food plant, estate, and forestry), the national economy will increase more than the value of economy development in the other countries in the South East Asia (Asia Tenggara). Indonesia has sea zone as long as 5.8 million km (±70% of total of territorial zone). The broad of the sea is registered that the length of beach side is ±81.000 km with the potential of the cultivation in the ocean zone for fish as long as ±3.124.747 ha (Nurjana,1997; Kamaluddin, 2002).
