Abstract

This document highlight the perils of illegal fishing in north Sumatra, Indonesia, and the resultant conflict between traditional fishing communities and trawlers. The large increase in the number of trawlers in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in large decreases in catch and income levels for local fishermen ,particularly in the 3 mile zone reserved for traditional fishing activities.Trawlers have often illegally entered these areas, a practice that frequently continues to this day. There was and is little enforcement of the law by any level of government. Clashesbbetween traditional fishermen and trawlers result in injury and loss of life on both sides; many fishermen have been injured, disappeared or.
