Abstract
Indonesia is one of the producers of tuna and tuna species (tuna, skipjack, and mackerel tuna), which are increasing every year. Its geographical location and area of its many Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) bordering many neighboring countries, requires Indonesia to implement the CLS 1982 provisions on far-migratory fish. In this connection, Indonesia implements two forms. Firstly, in the form of legislation, which Indonesia has issued about 17 regulations, starting from the level of the Law to the Ministerial Regulation. Secondly, Indonesia has been active as a member of regional fisheries organizations whose territory borders on the Indonesian EEZ. Consequently, from the issuance of this Ministerial Regulation, Indonesia must carry out fisheries monitoring on board, to meet the higher quality data needs. So that Indonesia is faced with carrying out monitoring on fishing vessels operating in the convention area of the RFMOs, namely the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission, the Commission for Southern Blue Fin Tuna Conservation, and the Central and Western Pacific Fisheries Commission. In order to optimize this implementation, Indonesia needs to prepare officials, facilities, and infrastructure that can support the compliance and enforcement of legislation that has been issued. Indonesia should immediately formulate fisheries policies in the high seas outside the Indonesian EEZ, which involve and benefit Indonesian fishermen.

Summary
Indonesia is an archipelago consisting of around 17,508 islands with an area of 5,193,250 square kilometers, and after ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 (CLS 1982) to 8,193,250 square kilometers, consisting of 2,027,087 square kilometers of land and 6,166,163 square kilometers of territorial waters. Tuna usually live in clusters and always do activities at speeds of 27 km/h up to 75 km/h, both local and long-distance movements.3 With such a rapid movement, the types of far-migratory fish can be said to be unfamiliar with the boundaries of the territorial waters of a country or migrate across the jurisdictional borders of a country. Its utilization must involve all stakeholders and a group of governments at the national and international levels
