Abstract

Fishing is extraordinarily abundant due to the expansive nature of Indonesia’s oceanic region, which comprises two-thirds of the nation’s total land area. This wealth will be rendered irrelevant when illicit fishing agents, whether employed by domestic firms or foreign nationals, can easily acquire it. Traditional fishermen endure a perpetual disadvantage from various factors, including inadequate infrastructure and managerial positions. It is paramount to ensure that legislative policies are enacted to support traditional fisheries and prioritize their involvement in managing Indonesia’s marine resources. This research was formulated employing a normative juridical approach. Three distinct data types are utilized: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Nonetheless, the data were gathered through the utilization of library investigation. By establishing rules and regulations at a lower level, the government has implemented legal policies and politics to protect traditional fishermen, according to the findings of the study. In addition, several direct regulations are enforced to defend indigenous fishermen from illegal fishing.
