Protecting marine resources has been a priority for the Joko Widodo and Jusuf Kalla administration. Under the leadership of Susi Pudjiastuti, the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) firmly protected Indonesia's marine wealth from rampant illegal fishing by foreign fishermen.

Since Susi Pudjiastuti was inaugurated as Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in October 2014, she immediately took drastic action by sinking fishing vessels involved in illegal activities. Furthermore, a moratorium on former foreign fishing vessels was implemented to protect small-scale Indonesian fishermen. According to KKP data, from 2014 to October 2017, 317 illegal fishing vessels were sunk. This number increased to 363 vessels by the end of 2017.

With larger and more advanced vessels than local fishermen, foreign fishermen stole fish throughout Indonesian waters. If left unchecked, this would have long-term consequences, disrupting the ecosystem and impacting fish populations, while the benefits were not enjoyed by the Indonesian people.
