Abstract
Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported Fishing (IUU Fishing) has grown significantly in the last few decades. This practice certainly has and will undermine global fisheries resources even further. As a result, the international community needs to establish measures to prevent the IUUF through international agreements. Presently, the international communities have formed various organizations, both regional and international (regional fisheries management organizations or RFMO), which shows its attention to the need for sustainable fisheries resources management and to prevent any illegal IUU fishing activity. Therefore, every country is currently seeking the law enforcement model to secure its maritime jurisdictions from any IUUF activity. However, each country has a separate law enforcement model, adjusting to their geographical and geopolitics condition. This article will examine the law enforcement model’s comparison in several countries and seek the best law enforcement model and a lesson learned for Indonesia.

This article’s scope further discusses comparative studies of fishing enforcement in several countries, mainly the United States, Australia, India, Malaysia, and New Zealand. These states are chosen because it has multi-agency law enforcement agency, same as Indonesia. Indonesia recently established the Maritime Security Agency (BAKAMLA), known as the Indonesian Coast Guard (IDN-CG) It aims to formulate what steps Indonesia can and enforce the law and reduce illegal fishing practices to realize its largest maritime nation. Section two will elaborate on the law enforcement mechanisms of a different country from the United States of America, Australia, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Indonesia to see the lessons learned that Indonesia could get from the comparison studies.
