As a maritime nation, Indonesia possesses vast potential in fisheries and marine resources. Proper management of these resources is essential to ensure they remain a source of food and economic prosperity for both present and future generations. This study aims to evaluate the evolution of governance practices and propose actionable strategies for future policy development. By analyzing historical and current governance frameworks, the research identifies the gaps and potential improvements needed for sustainable fisheries management. The research will closely analyze the effects of these regulatory shifts on the fishing industry, local fishers, and non-commercial fishing activities, with a particular emphasis on the creation of effective governance structures. The study begins by exploring the complexities and challenges unique to managing fisheries in Indonesia, which are more intricate compared to other countries. It also traces the history of fisheries management in Indonesia, detailing the development of its policies and the significant impact these policies have had on the growth of the fisheries sector. Based on the Indonesian Fisheries Law, the goal is to establish a well-structured and continuously improving fisheries management system. Key management systems and strategies in Indonesian fisheries are summarized in this study, along with their effects. The transformation in fishing governance, particularly through the adoption of zoning and quota systems, is expected to contribute to the sustainability of fish resources and economic growth. This research concludes that adopting a quota- and zone-based approach to capture fisheries management in Indonesia will be essential for regulating catches, thereby preserving fish stocks and supporting economic stability. However, due to the distinctive characteristics of Indonesian fisheries and the complex, often ambiguous nature of the sector, significant challenges remain. Moreover, there is an ongoing need to enhance data collection, scientific research, and collaboration among stakeholders.
