The aim of this research is to analyze the potential of fisheries resources in the Fisheries Management Area of the Republic of Indonesia, the Malacca Strait, the causes of foreign fishing vessels fishing in these waters, and efforts to reduce illegal fishing by foreign fishing vessels. The research uses qualitative methods by collecting data through interviews, questionnaires and observations. The research results show an increase in the potential of Indonesian fisheries resources in the Malacca Strait in terms of catch volume, production value and number of fishing vessels. The reasons why foreign fishing vessels are still fishing include the lack of fisheries resources in their countries of origin, ignorance of Indonesia's maritime boundaries, and weak supervision. Efforts to reduce illegal fishing include improving the quality of monitoring vessels, routine surveillance patrols, tightening licensing and vessel monitoring procedures, as well as arresting foreign vessels that engage in illegal fishing. Based on the SWOT analysis, there are 18 strategies for monitoring foreign fishing vessels. It is necessary to increase routine supervision and take firm action against foreign fishing vessels that carry out illegal fishing in the Malacca Strait. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Illegal fishing remains a contentious issue globally, often leading to diplomatic tensions and strained relations between neighboring countries. This paper explores the application of national passive principles in the context of illegal fishing disputes involving Indonesian citizens in Australian waters. By examining relevant international laws, bilateral agreements, and case studies, this paper aims to elucidate the legal frameworks and practical implications of national passive principles in resolving such disputes. The analysis highlights the challenges faced by both Indonesia and Australia in enforcing maritime laws, particularly concerning illegal fishing activities. Moreover, it investigates the role of national passive principles, which prioritize the rights and responsibilities of states over their citizens engaged in illegal activities abroad. Through a comparative study of legal approaches and diplomatic strategies employed by both countries, this paper seeks to offer insights into the effectiveness of national passive principles in deterring illegal fishing and promoting cooperation between nations. Furthermore, this paper discusses the socio-economic factors driving illegal fishing activities among Indonesian citizens, including poverty, lack of alternative livelihoods, and inadequate enforcement measures. It also examines the environmental impact of illegal fishing on marine ecosystems and the need for collaborative efforts to combat this transnational issue. In conclusion, this paper underscores the importance of international cooperation, legal compliance, and sustainable resource management in addressing illegal fishing disputes. It advocates for the continued implementation of national passive principles alongside strengthened enforcement mechanisms and community-based initiatives to achieve long-term solutions to illegal fishing in Australian waters.

Justice is still an expensive item that is difficult to reach by every level of Indonesian society, including local fishermen who do illegal fishing. The criminal law policy in tackling illegal fishing which is represented in the Fisheries Law is not proportional and does not have a clear measure. Therefore, in the case of illegal fishing, a discourse of justice is attached. Related to the concept of justice offered by Thomas Aquinas, which emphasizes equality, justice, and the policy of tackling illegal fishing in Indonesia, it is interesting to discuss. This article aims to examine funds to analyze the concept of Thomas Aquinas 'philosophy of justice and to explore justice in the policy of tackling illegal fishing in the perspective of Thomas Aquinas' philosophy of justice. In order to answer these problems, this study uses a normative juridical method. Based on the research results, the concept of justice offered by Thomas Aquinas consists of distributive, commutative, and indicative justice. The essence of Thomas Aquinas' three concepts of justice is proportional to equality. Associated with Thomas Aquinas' concept of justice, the policy to combat illegal fishing in Indonesia has not provided justice. It is said that because the sanction for deprivation of freedom in the Fisheries Law only applies to local fishermen and has not reached foreign fishermen who do illegal fishing. In order to be fair, the sanction of deprivation of liberty should not apply to local fishermen who do illegal fishing as well as foreign fishermen.

Amendment to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 1982 with Law No. 17 the Year 1985 makes Indonesia have the right to utilize, conservation, and manage fish resources in Indonesia's exclusive economic zone and the high seas. Such rights are exercised under applicable international terms or standards. Therefore, legislation was made related to the sinking of illegal fishing vessels in Indonesian territorial waters through Law No. 45 of 2009 on Fisheries. Indonesia's high wealth of marine resources does not run following all layers' expectations after illegal fishing. However, the juridical consequences of applying the law have several impacts, namely the impact of sinking foreign vessels on relations with foreign countries and negative-positive effects in the marine environment due to the sinking of foreign vessels illegal fishing actors.

This study discusses the policy implementation by Indonesia regarding the sinking of illegal fishing vessels towards Indonesia's bilateral relations with Malaysia, especially those that occurred in Tarakan and Nunukan. Many losses from illegal fishing by neighboring countries made the President of Indonesia, through the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, took a firm stance regarding the rules of ship sinking to the accused ships that have been proven doing illegal fishing in the Indonesian sea. The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries together with relevant agencies helped implement the policy which had an impact on the relationship between Indonesia and Malaysia. In this case, Malaysia is still in third place after Vietnam and the Philippines in the data on the number of vessels destroyed by the Indonesia. Malaysia is also the country with the fifth largest fish commodity production in Southeast Asia whereas fish consumption in Malaysia is ranked first in the region. Thus, the country faces obstacles in fulfilling the need for fish faced with Indonesian policies in addressing illegal fishing arrests by foreign countries. By qualitative methods, this research reveals the background of the existence and implementation of policies for the sinking of illegal fishing vessels and the impact of these policies on the Malaysian state. International system pressure, state power and other theories were used to help carry out this research. As a result, this study provides an overview of the relationship between Indonesia and Malaysia after the enactment of the policy. First, the Malaysian increase their fish trade and sea safeguard with Indonesia, both in the designated sea area and the gray area. Second, the government of Malaysia adopted the sinking ships method due to its mechanism that is considered effective and efficient in creating detterence effect. Third, both countries agreed to release poor or small fishermen who carry out IUU Fishing made between the President of Indonesia and the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

llegal fishing, known as IUU (illegal, unreported, unregulated) fisheries has long been happening throughout the territorial waters of the Republic of Indonesia. Talaud waters as border regions of Indonesia-Philippines also have the same problem. This study uses a network analysis approach with intensive field research for three years from 2014 to 2016, this research aims to determine the range of networks developed by actors involved in illegal fishing.The research found that illegal fishing activities in the area occurred at three levels, namely illegal fishing in communal networks, illegal fishing in associational networks and illegal fishing in industrial networks. The pattern of illegal fishing that occurs in communal networks is done by small fishermen (peasant fisher) with the characteristics of the use of traditional fishing gear, small scale, limited area and relatively subsistence. In an associational network the pattern of illegal fishing takes place on a wider scale, carried out by a post-peasant fisher with a more modern fishing gear, and involving local apparatus and officials. Meanwhile, illegal fishing in industrial networks is conducted bycorporations involving high-ranking officials of policy-making countries at the central level, as well as by industry-scale entrepreneurs and fishermen.The strength of the illegal fishing network in the Indonesia-Philippines border region cannotbe separated from the role of brokers or intermediaries that exist in every network. Brokers have an important role to connect actors involved in illegal fishing. One of the interesting findings of this research is that the role of brokers can also be carried out by state apparatus or parties related to the state apparatus.
