Also capture fishery production for this type of large pelagis fish 25488,36 tonnes per year, amounting to 40159,66 tonnes of small pelagis per year, amounting to 14997.10 demersial tons per year, amounting to 9872.48 tonnes of reef fish per year, Lobster at 2973,97 tons per year, amounting to 4987,98 Squid tons per year, and Shrimp Penied 2002.10 tons per year.

While aquaculture by type of commodity grouper with a land area of 24.75 hectares, with an area of sea grass is 74.25 hectares of land, Tilapia and carp with total area of 22.67 hectares, and Shrimp with total area of 20.10 Ha, the production achieved in the year 2004 for species of grouper at 38.484 tons per year, amounting to 16.387 tonnes seaweed per year, Tilapia and carp at 19.682 tons per year, and Shrimp for 3556 tons per year.


6. Mining Potential

Potential of metallic minerals and non-metals such nikel-cobalt, copper, gold and silver is a commodity to be developed further. Halmahera Island has a potential gold deposit which is prospective, the findings of epithermal gold deposits in areas with potential Gosowong contained in the magnetic arc. For nickel ore supply planning for the Feni plant consumption in 2000-2030 is required as many as 48.75 million tons. While newly available until now only as much as 16.355 million tons, so there is shortage of as many as 32.395 million tons of nickel ore. Source laterite nickel Vedic bay area which until now has not done a detailed exploitation that ranges 92 million tons.

Indication of a hydro-carbon oil seepage indicated by symptoms such as those found on the island of Halmahera conducted by Pertamina and British Petroleum in South Halmahera Basin with flour seepage at a depth of 3000 meters, in addition there is potential in Jailolo geothermal, geothermal energy is Songa Bacan.


Of the various potentials,
so-called North Maluku Province natural laboratory because of its position in geology in the collision of three tectonic plates, namely the Australian plate is moving toward the south, the Eurasian Plate moving from the west and the Pacific Plate from the west. Some mineral resources or mineral ingredients found scattered in almost all areas of North Maluku, such as Copper, Uranium, Gold, Nickel, Coal, Alumanium / Bauxite, Magnesite, Iron Sand, Titanium, Manganese, Asbestos, Kaolin, diatomite, Gems, chromite, Quartz, limestone, pumice stone, Granite, Talk, Oil and Gas Potential of Geothermal, and Water Resources.

Likewise, for the mining operations which supported the availability of potential mines, particularly the exploitation of Gold and Nickel. While there is still potential for the minerals that have not been processed as many as 18 dozen kinds of minerals which include a class A, B and C. Production levels in the same year reached 11.67 million U.S. dollars export value.

In the mining sector supported by the availability of potential mines, particularly the exploitation of Gold and Nickel as well as 18 dozen kinds of minerals which include a class A, B and C that have not been processed.

Source laterite nickel Vedic bay area which until now has not done a detailed exploitation that ranges 92 million tons. Indication of a hydro-carbon in the province of North Maluku indicated by symptoms such as oil seepage found on the island of Halmahera conducted by Pertamina and British Petroleum in South Halmahera Basin seepage at depths of 3000 meters flour, other than that there is in Jailolo geothermal potential, geothermal energy in Songa Bacan.

* Gold: 78.2 million tonnes Au = 20-30 grams / tonne, which is available at 16 locations spread across Bacan, Galela, Loloda, Kao, Obi, Sanana, West Taliabu, Kayoa, Morotai Morotai South and North.
* Manganese: the District of North Loloda Galela and District, and exploitation of new 221 553 tons.
* Copper with a total of 70 million tons of content spread across Bacan, Obi, Loloda,
* Iron content with the amount of 87.7 million tonnes (20% Fe)
* Sand Iron with a total content of 10 million tonnes (estimated),
* Coal found at 10 locations spread across Bacan, Jailolo, Galela, Kao, invective / Malifut, South Morotai, Obi, Sanana, West Taliabu and Loloda. Nickel with area 47 898 ha, located at Obi and Taliabu.

7. Tourism Potential

The potential of tourism in this area of cultural tourism and archeology, history, tradition, known as the Sultanate Moloku Kie Raha. Historical relics of the past include the Sultan of Ternate and Kadaton Kadaton Tidore Sultan.

Marine tourism potentials of the islands and beautiful beaches with marine parks and other types of ornamental fish, is a major potential to develop marine tourism. Natural attractions such as rock holes that are spread in almost all areas, forest tourism can be intended for the interests of national parks that have endemic species in the world rankings to 10th. With such potential, the development is directed at the locations that have interactions tourism activities.

Nature reserve area consisting of several types, both on land and sea waters are scattered at various locations such as Mountain Nature Reserve Sibela Bacan Island, Obi Island Nature Reserve, Nature Reserve on the island of Taliabu Taliabu, Seho Island Nature Reserve.

Heritage area which has historical value kepurbakalan spread in the region of North Maluku Province covers cultural reserve in Ternate, Tidore City, West Halmahera, Central Halmahera, South Halmahera District, and North Halmahera regency.
