In this regard, the government as the highest authority in the region basically has the obligation to regulate order. However, these arrangements should not conflict with the interests of coastal environmental management and society. For this reason, Indonesia is a rule of law country where the constitution is the philosophical basis of national law.

This research is empirical research, using a sociological juridical approach. The reality of the conditions that exist in the lives of traditional fishermen is that various advances have been found, both in the infrastructure sector and fishermen's education, including advocacy and fishermen's understanding of regulations that provide protection for fishermen's fundamental rights.
