The Role Of the Indonesian National Armed Forces Navy In Dealing with Illegal Fishing In Indonesia

Abstract

Transnational crime is a crime that crosses national borders where the crime puts the country at risk. One of them is illegal fishing activities, namely fishing activities by exceeding the limits of the procedure, using illegal fishing gear, or catching beyond the specified limit. In Indonesia, these events often occur in Indonesian waters, especially in border areas where the perpetrators are foreign fishermen. As a state security institution, the Indonesian Navy is highly focused on dealing with illegal fishing. It is the Indonesian National Army, the Navy, and the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries that the Government hopes can handle it. However, other institutions have the same role as the Fisheries Civil Service Investigator (PPNS). This article has succeeded in providing another perspective on Manuel Castells' concept of information.
