The Master of Fisheries Science Program, Department of Fisheries, UGM has conducted the Academic Traveling Program on October 21–22, 2024. The activities carried out included a Public Lecture and Dissemination of Research Results from the Master’s Program in Fisheries and Marine Sciences at the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Jenderal Soedirman University (FPIK UNSOED), Purwokerto. This activity also involved other institutions such as the Master of Fisheries Resource Management, Master of Marine Science from Diponegoro University, and the Master of Aquatic Resources and Master of Marine Science from Jenderal Soedirman University.
The Public Lecture and Dissemination began with an opening speech by the Dean of FPIK UNSOED, Prof. Dr. Endang Hilmi, S.Hut., M.Si. The Public Lecture session featured two speakers, namely Dr. Eko Setyobudi, S.Pi, M.Si. from the Master of Fisheries Science UGM, who also serves as the Regional Coordinator for DIY of the Indonesian Ichthyology Society. Dr. Eko Setyobudi presented a topic titled “Anisakis (Nematoda): Its Relation to Humans and Research Developments in Indonesia.” The next speaker was Dr. Anindita Sabdaningsih, S.Si., M.Si. from the Master of Fisheries Resources UNDIP with the theme “Mitigating Antimicrobial Resistance in Coastal Environments.” The final session of the Public Lecture presented student research findings from representatives of each study program. Jenderal Soedirman University was represented by three students, Diponegoro University by five students, while Universitas Gadjah Mada was represented by two students: Nicholas Sidharta and Diva Faza Falah Andri.
Samsuri Djamal, one of the participants of the Academic Traveling 2024 program, expressed that this program provided a memorable first experience as a Master of Fisheries Science student. The two speakers presented in this program offered new insights into current issues in the fisheries sector. Not only did it provide opportunities to gain valuable information through the Public Lecture and Dissemination, but this program also served as motivation to become a presenter in the next Dissemination session of the Academic Traveling Program in 2025. In addition, Samsuri Djamal also stated that the program created space for sharing information and strengthening relationships among fellow Master of Fisheries Science students. The Academic Traveling 2024 activity of the Master of Fisheries Science Program is expected to support the success of the SDGs, particularly SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 14: Life Below Water, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
