hello everyone welcome back again to my channel before watching this article don't forget to like comment and subscribe now let's start this article many time low enforcement and compliance in Indonesia problems and recommendation part 4. inappropriate Judicial System the existing Corp system in Indonesia cannot appropriately address the complex cities that arise from illegal marine and Coastal resources exploitation the current judicial system has four types of Courts General courts religious courts military courts and state Administration court all environmental cases proceed the general court consequently and foreign environmental cases are treated in the same way as other general court cases and are handled by judges and attorneys who only have a very general knowledge of relevant law this lack of specific knowledge of the environment and marine ecosystems has resulted in difficulties in prosecution of alleged violators if the cause if the case proceeds to the court the usual penalty is minimal and provides little difference for example a continuous issue occurred occurred with regard to the punishment of seven illegal stretching fossils in The District Court of tanjung pinang The District Court punished the offenders with a fine 30 million rupees of or 3 100 US dollar for each vessel the judge's decision was based solely on illegal mining without any consideration of the destruction of the marine environment caused by these illegal activities it is clear therefore that members of the Court do not have the capacity commitment or intent or incentive to address Marine environmental problems appropriately the first Maritime jurisdiction the accent the extensive Maritime eurdiction of Indonesia is another cause of ineffective many time enforcement with the country's 17506 Island their Coastline measuring some 81 000 kilometers and a sea area covering about 7.73 million kilometers it is hardly surprising that existing petrol vessels cannot effectively monitor the entire sea area and Coastline this is accessible by the fact that the law enforcement at Sea in coastal and Marine areas is much more expensive and difficult than enforcement on land through the course of assets and maintains to the course of assets and maintains the ability of Indonesia's enforcement agencies to enforce many time laws and regulations using conventional methods of petrols by aircraft and ship is severally limited furthermore Fisheries enforcement in the open sea of remote areas is less feasible to other fishermen than on land this led to less deterrence than land-based enforcement even though law enforcement program has several problems significant efforts are being made to address problems of maritime law enforcement at both the national and local level and local levels this include the introduction of the concept of community enforcement the enactment of the decentralization acts and the enactment of the new Fisheries act number 31 of 2004. Global concern over the depletion of some key marine species has increased significantly since late 1970s this has resulted in a shift of coastal resources management from local and central government authorities to community Institution the community-based management concept was introduced to many regions in the world in late 1970s and early 1980s many non-government organizations sought to educate Fisher and other Coastal communities in the management of their marine and Coastal resources since then the pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme this has resulted in increased conflict between Fisheries organization ngos and local authorities however the involvement of communities in natural resources management has become a trend and an alternative management measure after several successes in the Philippines and some other regions in the world stakeholders involvement has become an essential ailment of all integrated Coastal and Marine Resources management this have been tempered by a top-down centralized regime on one hand and a fox minding the thickness community renderism on the other leading to the current co-management or stakeholder and local management regime at the community or District level Community enforcement programs are integral to be CBM approach and MCS system for coastal areas this encourages the community to become involved in monitoring control and surveillance of their surrounding Marine Resources and to take a role in protecting these resources from illegal activities communities are then encourages to be empowered with local governments to have input Into the Dead run or penalty process through traditional practices now include in-law or with respect to the level of penalties under the law the community enforcement program in the Marine sector was introduced in Indonesia the Earth in the early 1990s with assistance with assistance from some International Foundation and ngos a rift water a river water pitch Watchers or Coast water program was introduced in some Coastal communities in Indonesia this program encouraged the local community to conduct regular sea petrols in the village Marine protected areas of or marine conservation Zones near its Village for safety reason the community acts as a surveillance or Watchers Only The Reef Watchers report and call for assistance from Auto reside Law Enforcement Officers authorized security officers or the village leader if they find illegal activities in their Marine areas all of this program is relatively new the community sea patrols have achieved significant success in some districts in Indonesia for example there has been a significant decrease in illegal fishing activities in the district of Vietnam 4 since the implementation of the core maps MCS program in that sea based on the community's information the local security officer were able to catch the LH Fisher red hand when they committed illegal fishing offenses the success has shown that the involvement of the community in law enforcement activities particularly in the Marine sector has contributed to the decrease in illegal fishing also not worthy was the pride and confidence generate in the community through this empowerment to protect the resources community-based enforcement may be an effective step forward addressing memory resources degradation in Indonesia with the enactment of the autonomy laws evolving responsibilities to Regional performance responsibility for the enforcement of national laws is not only the responsibility of central government but also the responsibility of regional governments in their areas of jurisdiction the involvement of preferential and District or city governments in law enforcement activities is a New Concept in Indonesia for more than 22 years the responsibility of law enforcement was under the central government this shift of responsibility is a reasonable one besides being a better position to recognize the problems in their areas the regional governments also have the financial capacity to fund law enforcement programs in the territoriosis and to take direct action in natural Marine resource management many time low enforcement in Indonesia is confronted by several challenges including lack of funding facilities trained Personnel intricacancy intelligence coordinating mechanism environmental awareness the absence of integrated laws and lack of political will and commitment some potential Solutions have been proposed that could be considered to address the problem the problems of maritimes allow enforcement for the management of its Coastal and Marine Resources the solution includes two poor options establishing a national maritime law enforcement unit or a national Coast Guard and second established Regional maritime law enforcement unit okay everyone that's all this article today thank you so much for watching this article until the next one bye
