Abstract The existing fisheries management within the Indonesian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is based upon several regulations derived from international conventions, national regulations, as well as conventions mutually agreed by Regional Fisheries Management Organizations members, which is intended to ensure that fish resources in the EEZ area can be managed optimally and sustainably. The sole purpose of this qualitative research is to examine national and international policies that regulate fisheries management in the Indonesian EEZ waters. The analysis was carried out qualitatively with a normative juridical approach and then descriptively elaborated. The results showed that the national regulations issued by the government has already referred to the UNCLOS 1982 and WCPFC Conventions, but the implementation has been far from optimal due to the heaps of regulatory references. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that the government set its policies on setting up appropriate regulations and simplifying all national regulations governing fisheries management in the Indonesian EEZ into a single regulation. It is meant to avoid overlapping arrangements and facilitate a much better implementation.

Abstract The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982) affirms that the government has sovereign rights, jurisdiction, and obligations in Indonesia’s EEZ. Indonesia has an interest in protecting sovereign rights and increasing state revenues in the waters of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). That sovereign right is to use fishery resources responsibly for the benefit of the nation and society as a whole. The sole purpose of this qualitative research is to optimize fisheries utilization in the Rote Ndao Regency whose waters include the Fisheries Management Area of 573 (FMA-573) in the EEZ. The analysis had been carried out with a case study approach and then descriptively elaborated. The results showed that: 1) the use of fisheries in FMA-573 was carried out by traditional fishermen (using vessels ≤10 Gross Tonnage/GT) and fishermen using vessels >29 GT; 2) supervision is still needed for the improvement of ships and human resources; 3) there are still violations of territorial waters by traditional Indonesian fishermen. The policy recommendations that must be carried out by the government are: 1) encouraging local fishermen to catch fish in the FMA-573 area by providing stimulus for ships and fishing gear; 2) allocate budget to purchase a new fleet of ships and add supervisors; 3) increase the number of fishery instructors to foster and socialize the boundaries of Indonesia’s EEZ with Australia.

Abstract Indonesia has ratified the United Convention Law of the Sea of 1982 with the Law No. 17 of 1985 concerning the Ratification of United Nations Convention on The Law of the Sea 1982. It means that Indonesia has the right to use, conserve, and manage fish resources in the Indonesia’s Exclusive Economic Zone (IEEZ). To guarantee the optimal and sustainable management of Indonesian fish resources, the role of fishery supervisors and community participation in an efficient and effective manner is needed. Law enforcement in the field of fisheries is very important and strategic to support fishery development in accordance with the principle of fishery management, so that the sustainable development of fisheries can be done continuously. Therefore, the existence of legal certainty is absolutely necessary to support fishery management in Indonesia.

AbstractResource allocation is a fundamental and challenging component of common pool resource governance, particularly transboundary fisheries. We highlight the growing importance of allocation in fisheries governance, comparing approaches of the five tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (tRFMOs). We find all tRFMOs except one have defined resources for allocation and outlined principles to guide allocation based on equity, citizenship, and legitimacy. However, all fall short of applying these principles in assigning fish resources. Most tRFMOs rely on historical catch or effort, while equity principles rarely determine dedicated rights. Further, the current system of annual negotiations reduces certainty, trust, and transparency, counteracting many benefits asserted by rights-based management proponents. We suggest one means of gaining traction may be to shift conversations from allocative rights toward weighting of principles already identified by most tRFMOs. Incorporating principles into resource allocation remains a major opportunity, with important implications for current and future access to fish.

This paper aims to describe the Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) fisheries in Indonesia and its relation to sustainable fisheries management. On tuna fishing, FADs are widely used as a tool to attract fish. FADs uncontrolled development is feared to have an impact on the sustainability of fish resources. We found that most of the fish caught around FADs are still juvenile. Deployment FADs can also interfere with the swimming pattern of tuna resources. This is negatively affecting the sustainability of tuna resources. However, from the social and economic aspects, FADs provide significant benefits for fishing communities. The Government has imposed regulations on FADs but not yet implemented. The objective of SDG's in the management of tuna fisheries associated with FADs can be implemented through the application of RFMO regulations. Findings from this paper can be used for policy recommendations for the management of sustainable FADsfisheries.

Indonesia is an archipelago that has extensive Exclusive Economic Zone of 2,7 million km2and has a very strategic geographical position which is between two oceans make Indonesia rich in fish resources. It is ironic that most of the fishermen living under the poverty line. With this condition, we need to reform the system of fisheries policies contained in the Indonesian EEZ. Indonesia merupakan negara kepulauan yang mempunyai luas ZEE 2,7 juta km2 dan  posisi  geografis negara Indonesia yang sangat strategis yang diapit oleh dua samudera menjadikan Indonesia kaya akan sumber daya ikannya. Ironisnya justru tingkat kehidupan nelayannya sebagian besar berada di bawah garis kemiskinan. Kondisi ini diperlukan upaya pembenahan dalam sistem kebijakan perikanan yang terdapat di ZEE Indonesia.

Abstract : The purpose of this research is to find out and analyse the participation of Indonesia in Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) viewed from the legal and globalization perspectives. The method used in this research was a normative juridical by employing secondary data sources which were analysed qualitatively. The results showed that there are 4 (four) RFMOs bordering Indonesian waters, namely IOCT, CCSBT, WPPC, and Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). Currently, Indonesia has participated as a member of RFMOs with the reasons, firstly, to participate in conserving fish resources and secondly, if Indonesia is not a member of RFMOs, the fishery products can be embargoed and categorized as IUU fishing. In relation to law and globalization, developed countries have implemented their hegemony to dominate the high seas through legal instruments, namely international treaties and organizations. On the other hand, the participation of Indonesia in RFMO is merely to facilitate the citizens to be able to access fish resources in the high seas.Keywords: Indonesia, RFMOs, law, globalization.�Keikutsertaan Indonesia dalam Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs): Perspektif Hukum dan Globalisasi�Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis keikutsertaan Indonesia dalam Regional Fisheries Management Organizatios (RFMOs) ditinjau dari perspektif hukum dan globalisasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif, menggunakan sumber data sekunder dan analisis dilakukan secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian yaitu terdapat 4 (empat) RFMOs yang berbatasan dengan perairan Indonesia yaitu, IOCT, CCSBT, WPPC, Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC). Saat ini Indonesia telah ikut serta menjadi anggota RFMOs dengan alasan, pertama, ikut melakukan konservasi sumber daya ikan dan kedua,� jika tidak menjadi anggota RFMOs maka hasil tangkapan dapat� diembargo dan dikategorikan sebagai IUU fishing.� Dikaitkan dengan hukum dan globalisasi, negara maju telah menerapkan hegemoninya untuk menguasai laut lepas melalui instrumen hukum yaitu perjanjian internasional dan organisasi internasional. Di sisi lain keikutsertaan Indonesia dalam RFMO� untuk memfasilitasi warga negaranya agar dapat mengakses sumberdaya ikan di laut lepas.Kata Kunci: Indonesia, RFMOs, hukum, globalisasi.

<p>This article aimed to investigate the philosophical aspect of fish exploitation in Exclusive Economic Zone (i..e, ZEE) to make Indonesia become the World’s Maritime Axis. The result found that the basic philosophy of fish exploitation in Indonesia’s ZEE was to fulfill people needs on food, especially fish resources. It is one of natural sources in Indonesia marine territory. Therefore, the jurisdiction needed to be well protected, preserved, and managed. In terms of making Indonesia become the world’s maritime axis, the fishery resources should be well and sustainably exploited for the sake of as much as people welfare and prosperity.</p>

Abstract The abundant potential of Fishery resources within the Indonesia’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) would be very beneficial for the entire community if it is properly managed. The correct management model can provide a balanced state between optimal economic benefits and resources preservation. This study aimed at developing a fisheries management policy model in the Indonesian EEZ as an effort to create optimal and sustainable utilization. The analysis was carried out qualitatively using a case study approach within an empirical juridical point of view which resulted in a descriptive report. The management models developed prescribes several policies to be carried out, such as: 1). New vessels development; and 2). Provision of Access Regulation for both Indonesian as well as foreign fishers. The management model also requires several important prerequisites, such as: 1). Periodic reasonable sea monitoring efforts; 2). Facilitation for the national business actors in the operation and marketing of catches; and 3). Simplification of fishing permits for foreign vessels accompanied by clear and firm cooperation agreements.
