How Fisheries Monitoring is Shaping the Future of Indonesia

Indonesia is home to more than 17,000 islands and one of the world's largest fisheries industries. As demand for seafood continues to grow, the country faces challenges such as Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, declining fish stocks, climate change, and seafood traceability.

These challenges highlight the growing importance of fisheries monitoring in supporting sustainable and responsible fisheries management.

So, how can Indonesia protect its marine resources while supporting sustainable industry growth? Let's take a quick look at some of the key challenges and solutions that will be discussed at Indo Fisheries 2026, taking place in Tangerang, Indonesia, from 16–18 June 2026.

Key Challenges Facing Indonesia's Fisheries Sector

Combating IUU Fishing

IUU fishing remains one of the biggest threats to marine ecosystems and coastal economies. Unauthorized fishing activities can lead to overfishing, loss of revenue, and reduced fish populations.

Improving Seafood Traceability

Consumers and regulators increasingly expect transparency across the seafood supply chain. Traceability helps ensure that seafood products come from legal and sustainable sources while supporting food safety and regulatory compliance.

Adapting to Climate Change

Changing ocean temperatures, shifting fish migration patterns, and extreme weather events are affecting fisheries worldwide. Access to reliable ocean data is becoming essential for informed decision-making and risk management.

How Fisheries Monitoring Supports Sustainable Fisheries

Fisheries monitoring technologies help improve visibility across fishing operations, support regulatory compliance, and promote more sustainable fisheries management.

Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS)

A Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) helps authorities and fisheries managers track vessel movements in real time. This improves maritime surveillance, supports regulatory compliance, and strengthens efforts to combat IUU fishing.

Fisheries Monitoring and Intelligence

Advanced fisheries monitoring solutions combine vessel tracking, data analytics, and fisheries intelligence to help identify suspicious activities, improve operational efficiency, and support sustainable resource management.

Oceanographic Services

Oceanographic data provides valuable insights into marine conditions, supporting fisheries monitoring efforts, and helping stakeholders track environmental changes across marine ecosystems.
