Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Laut Antarbatas Negara: Tantangan Bagi Indonesia sebagai Negara Maritim

Abstract

This aritcle discusses about the phenomenon of globalization involving two fishermen communities, the Tomalou fishermen in Tidore islands and the Philipines fishermen. Both of them sail and hunt in the same seawater zone, constructed and formed as a transborder territory between Indonesia and the Philipines. The natural resources management system through decentralization should ensure the exsistence of local fishermen (Tomalou) to gain marine (fish) resources, secured by government without interference by the Philipine fishermen. The data in this paper has been analyzed with several transborder theories. As a result, this paper shows that the state representated by the regional government has failed to protect the local fishermen (Tomalou) and ensure in continued presence in achiving welfare from the sea resources.
