Integrated Law Enforcement toward Illegal Fishing in Indonesian Water Areas

. Problems in the management of marine resources in Indonesian waters are mostly caused by the existence of illegal fishing, but in its enforcement are still carried out by scattered bodies as regulated in Law Number 6 of 1996 concerning Indonesian Waters which provide authority to the Indonesian Navy, National Police, and the Ministry to enforce the law in the sea area. The overlapping enforcement not only raises information on law enforcement, but also provides opportunity or bribery in the enforcement process. This has become the main foundation that as an archipelagic state, Indonesia should have implemented a water law enforcement system that is integrated by one body. The method used in this study is sociological juridical, with the hypothesis that in order to realize optimal water law enforcement, an integrated arrangement is needed to realize an effective and efficient law enforcement system.
