Abstract

Natuna waters have great potential for marine resources, but also face challenges
from Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing practices, especially by
foreign fishing vessels from Vietnam. To address this problem, the Indonesian
government has implemented various policies, including increasing maritime
patrols and strengthening coordination between related agencies. This study aims
to analyze the implementation of Indonesia's policy in protecting Natuna Waters
from the threat of IUU Fishing by Vietnamese fishing vessels and factors that affect
implementation. Using qualitative research methods, this study explores how the
policies are implemented and the obstacles faced in the implementation process.
The results of the study show that despite efforts through coordination between
agencies such as Bakamla, Polair, and the Indonesian Navy in maritime security
forums, there are still various obstacles that hinder the optimization of security in
Natuna Waters. These obstacles include limited human resources, and the lack of
maximum diplomacy between Indonesia and Vietnam in the completion of the
Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) boundaries. This study recommends increased
coordination between agencies through more regular meetings, increasing the
capacity of human resources in marine patrols, and a stronger diplomacy approach
to reduce IUU Fishing activities in Natuna Waters.
