THE UTILIZATION OF TECHNOLOGY IN LAW ENFORCEMENT ADDRESSING IUU FISHING FOR SUSTAINABLE GOVERNANCE IN THE FISHERIES SECTOR

The role of technology in supporting sustainable fisheries governance in Indonesia, particularly in addressing the issues of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, is crucial. This study emphasizes the main technological aspects: Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and the usage of big data. It will indicate how integrating these technologies can strengthen law enforcement and support the sustainability of the fishery sector. VMS enables authorities to monitor the movement of ships in real time, enhancing the detection of illegal fishing activities. Meanwhile, big data analysis plays a significant role in identifying patterns and trends of IUU fishing through processing data related to ships, catches, and fish movements. Additionally, using the internet for socializing sanctions and regulations to the public raises awareness about the impacts of IUU fishing and the legal consequences faced. This study demonstrates that collaboration between technology and public policy can be the key to more effective and sustainable fisheries law enforcement efforts.
