<![CDATA[This study examines the complexity of governance in maritime security surveillance conducted by the Gorontalo Regional Police's Water Police (POLAIRUD). Drawing on Governance Complexity Theory, the study explores six dimensions that shape the maritime surveillance system: interdependence, actor diversity, uncertainty, dynamic interactions, network coordination, and adaptation and learning. A qualitative case study approach was employed, employing in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The findings indicate that maritime surveillance operates in a complex governance environment where information, authority, and operational resources are distributed among multiple actors. Surveillance effectiveness is influenced not only by organizational capacity but also by the ability to coordinate networks, manage uncertainty, and adapt to changing maritime conditions. The study demonstrates that maritime security governance is inherently relational and adaptive, requiring collaborative arrangements that transcend traditional hierarchical structures. These findings contribute to the governance complexity literature by providing empirical evidence from the Indonesian maritime security context and highlighting the importance of network-based and adaptive governance mechanisms in maritime surveillance.]]>
