<![CDATA[Illegal fishing is a serious problem and is detrimental to Indonesia. In overcoming these problem, the Indonesian government has taken several policies including the sinking of ships that do illegal fishing. But this policy raises pros and cons. This article discusses government policies against illegal fishing and ship sinking as an effort to eradicate illegal fishing in Indonesian waters.
