lautnusantara.com Indonesia, as the largest archipelagic country in the world, has enormous fisheries resource potential. This potential includes capture fisheries in the sea, aquaculture in fresh, brackish and sea water, as well as processing of fishery products. However, behind the abundant potential, there are various problems that need to be overcome so that the use of fisheries resources can be sustainable and provide optimal benefits for community welfare. Effective and sustainable fisheries resource management efforts are essential to ensure the availability of these resources for current and future generations. The following are several efforts that can and have been made to manage fisheries resources sustainably:

1. Strengthening Regulations and Policies

• Preparation of Legislation: The government needs to formulate and update legislation governing fisheries management, including fishing quotas, permitted types of fishing gear, and sanctions for violators.
