IIndonesia is the world's largest maritime country, its maritime resources need to be guarded and managed continuously for the welfare and prosperity of the people of Indonesia. One of the examples of issues that attracts attention and is still occurring within the territorial waters of Indonesia is illegal fishing. Indonesia constitutes one of the countries which falls victim to the growing actions of illegal fishing. Illegal fishing constitutes a violation of the law, its impact is not only damaging to the people and state, but also disturbing the stability of security at seas and it also constitutes potential conflicts between Indonesia and other countries. This paper will describe the legal issues pertaining to illegal fishing, how it is regulated from the perspectives of national and International laws, its condition in Indonesia, how illegal fishing cases are handled in Fisheries court as well as what are the efforts made by the Government of RI to overcome and prevent illegal fishing within the territorial waters of Indonesia. Indonesia merupakan Negara maritim terbesar di dunia, sumber daya maritim tersebut perlu dipertahakan dan dijaga secara berkelanjutan untuk kesejahteraan rakyat Indonesia. Salah satu permasalahan yang menarik perhatian dan masih tetap terjadi di wilayah perairan territorial Indonesia adalah pengambilan ikan secara ilegal. Indonesia merupakan salah satu dari Negara-negara yang menjadi korban aktivitas pengambilan ikan secara ilegal. Pengambilan ikan secara ilegal merupakan tindakan melanggar hukum, akibat dari hal tersebut tidak hanya menumbulkan kerugian bagi masyarakat dan Negara, tetapi juga mengganggu stabilitas keamanan di laut dan juga mengandung potensi konflik antara Indonesia dengan Negara lain. Tulisan ini akan memberikan gambaran atas permasalahan hukum terkait dengan pengambilan ikan secara ilegal, bagaimana hal tersebut diatur dalam perspektif hukum nasional dan Internasional, kondisinya di Indonesia, bagaimana penanganan kasus-kasus penangkapan ikan secara ilegal melalui pengadilan perikanan dan juga upaya-upaya yang telah dilakukan oleh pemerintah RI untuk menghadapi dan mencegah penangkapan ikan secara ilegal yang terjadi di wilayah perairan Indonesia.
