<![CDATA[This research describes Indonesia’s maritime security strategy in countering illegal fishing through the Indonesia-Australia Fisheries Surveillance Forum in 2018-2022. The maritime border between Indonesia and Australia is prone to illegal fishing, which requires bilateral cooperation to resolve it. For this reason, Indonesia cooperates with Australia through the Indonesia-Australia Fisheries Surveillance Forum (IAFSF). This study uses descriptive qualitative method and the Maritime Security Strategy concept which includes Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and new epistemic infrastructure, coordination and maritime security governance and operational coordination. The results of this research show that Indonesia’s Maritime Security Strategy within the IAFSF framework have been implemented by forming the 115 Task Force to enhance maritime domain awareness, developing a new epistemic infrastructure database of illegal fishing information, facilitating information exchange between Indonesia and Australia on illegal fishing cases, human resource capacity building for Indonesian staff, joint campaigns against illegal fishing, preparing alternative livelihoods for fishermen across the Indonesian-Australian maritime borders and Operation Gannet coordinated patrols between Bakamla and the Australian Border Force (ABF).]]>
