Fisheries Surveillance at Indonesia’s Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries

I participated in a 5-day course on Monitoring, Control and Surveillance for Fisheries Enforcement, where I analyzed a case involving a vessel suspected of illegal fishing, transshipment, human trafficking, and forced labor. The experience was especially impactful when the vessel was later apprehended, and the crew expressed relief at being rescued. This training deepened my awareness of maritime crime and strengthened my confidence in handling complex enforcement situations.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Monitoring, Control and Surveillance for Fisheries Enforcement training. The program provided valuable insights into IUU fishing, vessel detection, and investigative techniques, guided by Dr. Dyhia Belhabib’s expertise. Through both theory and practical application, we strengthened our ability to identify and respond to evasive maritime activities, significantly enhancing our skills and operational readiness.
