For law enforcement in the IEEZ in the context of Indonesia's national interest in the marine sector, the Indonesian Navy, the Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla), and the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) have carried out the execution of the sinking of foreign fishing vessels caught carrying out illegal fishing practices in the territorial waters Indonesia. This policy is intended as a stern warning to the perpetrators of illegal fishing as well as a form of Indonesia's commitment in monitoring and enforcing the law in Indonesian marine areas, which will continue to be carried out in order to have a deterrent effect on the perpetrators. However, the act of catching foreign fishing vessels is carried out, still based on the applicable rules and regulations, as well as the fulfillment of sufficient initial evidence.  Sufficient preliminary evidence to arrest a foreign-flagged fishing vessel is evidence that suspects a criminal act in the field of fisheries by a foreign-flagged fishing vessel.

The theft of fish resources in the Indonesian sea has caused huge losses to the fisheries sector in order to realize the welfare of the community. The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries adopted a strict policy to eradicate illegal fishing through the act of sinking illegal fishing vessels. The magnitude of Indonesia's marine and fisheries wealth cannot be utilized optimally. Law enforcement is very important to deal with violations of law in Indonesian waters. One form of law enforcement is to implement policies such as sinking foreign vessels that steal fish in Indonesian waters while taking into account the efficiency and effect of deterrent effect on perpetrators of fish theft. The sinking policy of foreign fish-stealing vessels in Indonesian waters was pursued to secure the sea from looting by foreign parties. This policy will continue even though it could risk creating friction with the countries of origin of the foreign ship. Based on economic analysts on illegal fishing crimes, criminal fines can be used as an alternative to criminal punishment in addition to imprisonment in order to minimize operational costs of law enforcement.

The drowning of foreign fishing vessels of illegal fishing actors in Indonesia teritory is one of law enforcement efforts to against the eradication of illegal fishing and to enforce the sovereignty of the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. It is a special act mandated in Article 69 paragraph (4) of Law No. 45 of 2009 on fisheries. This sinking policy invites controversy from neighboring countries because it is considered as an action that violates the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and is not regulated in international law. Indonesia keep continues to enforce this policy because it is considered the most effective step in reducing massive illegal fishing in Indonesian waters and has a deterrent effect for the actors. Keywords: drowning policy of foreign ship, illegal fishing, international law

Abstract On April 20, decisions were issued in two cases concerning Chinese sailors engaged in illegal fishing activities. In one case, a Korean Coast Guard officer was stabbed to death in December 2011 in the process of detaining an illegal Chinese fishing vessel. The trial court, Incheon District Court – Criminal Division, handed down a 30 year prison term and fine of 20 million won to the captain of the Chinese vessel, Luwenyu no. 29, who was responsible for the stabbing. The other sailors and the captain of another Chinese vessel, Lihaoyu, were sentenced between 18 months to 5 years in prison for interfering with the detention.1 The other case occurred in November 2011 where, in the process of detaining a Chinese fishing vessel that had intruded upon Korean territorial waters northwest of Chujado of Jeju to engage in fishing activities, Chinese sailors wounded 5 Korean Coast Guard officers, inflicting upon them injuries that required 2 to 7 weeks of recuperation. The Jeju Regional Court, an appellate court, affirmed the decision of the trial court – which sentenced the Chinese captain to one year and the other two sailors to 14 months – and dismissed the appeals.2 The two cases show a strong determination on the part of the judiciary to deal with the systematic and violent resistance to the prevention of illegal fishing. This paper is a legal analysis of the detention of foreign vessels engaging in illegal fishing. It first looks at the international and domestic regulations concerning illegal fishing, and then proceeds to discuss the issues of security and immediate release following arrest.

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis bagaimana koordinasi struktur dalam penegakan hukum terhadap penangkapan ikan ilegal di perairan Aceh. Analisis ini berdasarkan pemahaman bahwa pemanfaatan sumber perikanan yang dilakukan oleh kapal perikanan harus selalu berdasarkan izin. Khusus bagi nelayan kecil dikecualikan. Realitasnya penangkapan ikan banyak terjadi secara ilegal, sehingga perlu dilakukan penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku pelanggaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode sosio-legal, dengan melihat hukum yang tidak terpisahkan dari berbagai faktor lain. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum belum terlaksana secara efektif. Struktur yang terlibat dalam penegakan hukum di laut adalah Penyidik Pegawai Negeri Sipil, Tentara Nasional Indonesia Angkatan Laut, dan Kepolisian Air dan Udara. Penegakan hukum dilakukan melalui pengawasan dan penangkapan terhadap kapal-kapal yang melakukan penangkapan ikan secara ilegal. Sebanyak 36 kapal ditangkap dan dikenakan sanksi hukumnya. Koordinasi struktur dalam penegakan hukum masih kurang. Disarankan supaya dilakukan penegakan hukum secara terus-menerus yang efektif dan dilakukan koordinasi secara intensif antara para penegak hukum dengan memperkuat personil dan peralatan dalam penegakan hukum di laut. Improvement of Structural Coordination in Illegal Fishing Law Enforcement in Aceh This study aims to analyze the structural coordination in law enforcement against illegal fishing on the Aceh coast. This analysis is based on the understanding that the use of fisheries by fishing vessels must always be based on a permit. Especially for small fishermen it is excluded. In fact, many fishing occurs illegally, so it is necessary to enforce the law against the perpetrators. This research uses the socio-legal method, by looking at the law that is inseparable from various other factors. Research findings indicate that law enforcement has not been implemented effectively. The structures involved in the law enforcement are Civil Servant Investigators, the Indonesian National Army, the Navy, and the Air and Water Police. Law enforcement is carried out through the supervision and arrest of vessels fishing illegally. A total of 36 ships were arrested and subject to sanctions. Structural coordination in law enforcement is lacking. It is recommended that effective continuous law enforcement and intensive coordination between law enforcement agencies be carried out by strengthening personnel and equipment in law enforcement at sea.

ABSTRACTThis research will be reviewed by the legal facts of the act of sinking illegal fishing vessels conducted by law enforcement officers or fisheries investigators in the Indonesian Fisheries Waters. The sinking of ships was carried out given the increasingly widespread theft of fish by foreign ships. An interesting legal issue to explore is about the sinking of illegal fishing vessels in a review of Indonesia's legal perspective. The purpose of this study is to analyse the sinking of ships related to the crime of illegal fishing before a court decision has permanent legal force, whether it is following applicable law. The next objective is to analyse the legal consequences of the ship sinking in the practice of enforcing illegal fishing criminal acts before a court decision has permanent legal force. This research is legal research with normative legal research type so that the analysis method used is a qualitative study that is built based on legal arguments to answer the problematic issues of this research law. The results showed that the act of sinking illegal fishing vessels in Indonesian fisheries waters by law enforcement officers or Indonesian fisheries investigators, normatively dogmatically, was following the provisions of Indonesian national law, which had been informed in Article 69 Paragraph 4 of Law Number 45 the Year 2009 regarding Fisheries, has also been by the provisions of international law, as regulated in Article 73 of UNCLOS 1982. Furthermore, the legal consequences of the sinking of illegal fishing vessels before the existence of a court decision have permanent legal force, normatively, has juridical implications on three things, namely: First, after the sinking of illegal fishing vessels became the basis for law enforcement officers or fisheries investigators to conduct further investigations within the formal criminal law enforcement framework; Second, the sinking of the ship has a legal effect on the status of the ship that sunk into status as evidence of the proceeds of crime or criminal acts that can be confiscated; Third, the sinking of the illegal fishing vessel has legal implications on the offender who can be subject to the status of a suspect and can even be raised to the status of a defendant of an illegal fishing crime. The author recommends that the Indonesian government through the foreign ministry should make diplomatic efforts to the international community to urge the United Nations to make illegal fishing a transnational crime. The procedure of permanent sinking of illegal fishing vessels, should not only be limited to the regulations of the Director-General of Fisheries but by the Indonesian government in the form of special legislation. Kata Kunci: Penenggelaman Kapal, Illegal Fishing, dan Penegakan Hukum
