Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with the largest marine wealth in the world. Indonesia's marine fisheries resources have enormous economic potential that can be utilized for the welfare of society. However, Indonesia's location between two continents and two oceans makes the territory of Indonesia prone to criminal acts in the field of fisheries. To handle these criminal offenses, the politics of criminal law in the formulation of Law No. 31 of 2004 concerning Fisheries determines that Fisheries Civil Servant Investigators, Navy Investigating Officers, and the National Police carry out fisheries criminal investigations. The law does not provide strict limitations on the investigative authority of the three institutions, even with the existence of Law No. 45 of 2009 as an amendment to Law No. 31 of 2004, it is also not clear that there are strict limitations on the investigative authority of the three institutions. Therefore, in implementing its duties there is no overlap of authority. This article suggests revising Law No. 45 of 2009 as an amendment to Law No. 31 of 2004.
