The law enforcement process on illegal fishing criminal act at Natuna and Anambas District had not been maximally implemented. This was because there were some factors, which were the law enforcement object which was hard to be covered by law, the proof problem, the narrow criminal act coverage, the bad coordination between the law enforcers, the criminal sanctions formulation, the criminality subject and actor, the confiscation process, the ecological compensation, and the lack of knowledge of integrity of the law enforcers.
