Al-Kindi Center for Research and Development 2024-01-06

The demand for Portunus pelagicus exports is increasing, which is encouraging more Portunus pelagicus capture. As a result, portunus pelagicus resources become available. The aim of this study is to examine the legal protection of portunus pelagicus based on international fisheries law in the Fisheries Management Area of the Republic of Indonesia (WPPRI) 713 and law enforcement against illegal rajuangan capture. The research method is qualitative research using an empirical normative approach. The findings revealed that the Indonesian government has incorporated international fisheries law into national legislation governing the management of Portunus pelagicus in Indonesian fisheries management areas. Administrative sanctions are used by law enforcement to punish non-compliant Portunus pelagicus fishing. In comparison to criminal and civil sanctions, this sanction is effective because it can be directly enforced by administrative officials. The government and the community share responsibility for the protection, utilization, and preservation of portunus pelagicus so that future generations are able to enjoy it.
