The condition of Indonesia's vast waters with large marine resources has important meaning for Indonesia because it contains fishery resources which have great potential as a source of new economic growth as well as being one of the prime movers of national development. The abundance of fishery resources in Indonesian seas has attracted the attention of foreign parties to enjoy them illegally through illegal fishing activities. In this descriptive qualitative research, the researcher serves as the human instrument. a qualitative descriptive method that involves looking at various published sources and drawing conclusions from them. the results and conclusions of this study is the lack of supervision and enforcement in Indonesia demonstrates that the management of the country's fish resources is not yet at its best. Fishing without a permit, using destructive fishing gear, and fishing from foreign vessels are just a few examples of the IUU fishing problem in Indonesia. Legal, reported, and regulated fishing—fishing that is legal, reported, and regulated—is a requirement for effective fisheries management that is sustainable and responsible. Increasing supervision and law enforcement, establishing international cooperation, establishing a monitoring center for fishing vessels, developing a sophisticated communication system (VMS), and imposing severe penalties on those who engage in IUU fishing are government efforts that can be made to combat the problem in Indonesia.
