Compliance is necessary for successful management of the fisheries. In fact, to secure compliance,
enforcement and surveillance, which are quite costly, are needed . It is realized that enforcement inputs
in Indonesia is limited and not sufficient to watch the waters of this country. Therefore, it needs a lot of
effort to improve the enforcement and surveillance schemes. It is necessary to find out new alternatives
or paradigms of monitoring, controlling and surveillance (MCS) in such a way in order to ensure the
sustainability of the fisheries resource.
