The vast potential of marine in the region offers opportunities for theft and illegal exploitation of marine resources by individuals and groups that harm the country and the community, such as illegal fishing, piracy, smuggling, human trafficking, piracy, and illegal migration. One of the areas in Indonesia with significant potential and vulnerability to illegal fishing is the Malacca Strait, including the waters of Rokan Hilir District. According to BPS records, Rokan Hilir Regency was able to produce approximately 50,000 tons/year of marine capture fisheries between 2018 - 2021. The increasing incidence of illegal fishing in the waters of Rokan Hilir District in recent years has been marked by the continuous apprehension of fishing vessels in Sinaboi Sea, Bagansiapiapi, and Pasir Limau Kapas. Therefore, research is needed on the existing conditions and also strategies to control illegal fishing activities in the waters of Pasir Limau Kapas.
This research was conducted in the Pasir Limau Kapas Subdistrict, Rokan Hilir District, which consists of the Villages of Panipahan, Panipahan Laut, and Panipahan Daraton March to July 2023. The data used are primary data obtained through direct observation and interviews, as well as secondary data obtained from relevant agencies and institutions such as the Rokan Hilir District Fisheries Office and the Marine and Fisheries Resource Control Center Region
III. Data analysis was carried out using a quantitative approach, and in formulating the strategy for controlling illegal fishing, the SWOT analysis method and descriptive analysis were used.
The research results indicate that the existing ecological conditions in the research area's waters have relatively low salinity values ranging from 27-28 ppt, with water temperatures between 30-31°C, current velocities of 0.020 - 0.22 m/sec, relatively low water clarity ranging from 0.017 - 0.018 m, and pH values ranging from 6.8 - 7. These pH conditions in the waters of Pasir Limau Kapas are still considered good considering the influence from the surrounding environment, such as river estuaries. The dominant catch commodities in the waters of Kepenghuluan Panipahan and Panipahan Darat include Senangin fish (Eleutheronema tetradactylum), Senohong fish (Leptomelanosoma indicum), Kakap fish (Etelis coruscans), Cincaru fish (Megalaspis cordyla), Kembung fish (Rastrelliger sp.), Pari fish (Dasyatis sp.), shrimp (Parapenaeopsis sp.), blood clams (Anadara sp.), and Belanak fish (Mugil sp.).

of the existing social conditions of the respondents, nearly the majority of fishermen have relatively low levels of education, with most having completed primary school (71%). However, fishermen are aware of the importance of licensing in fisheries management to control utilization and maintain the sustainability of fish resources. Regarding the existing economic conditions based on respondent summaries, fishermen's daily income ranges from Rp. 45,000- 65,000, and there has been a decrease in household income for fishermen over the past 7 years. In 2023, the number of recorded illegal fishing cases until July 2023 was 18 cases in the research area.
SWOT analysis showed that strategies to control illegal fishing activities in the waters of Pasir Limau Kapas Sub-district, Rokan Hilir Regency, include optimizing fisheries potential, increasing awareness of marine ecosystem protection, and improving fisheries supporting facilities in Pasir Limau Kapas Sub-district. Efforts to combat illegal fishing in Pasir Limau Kapas Waters require synergy between agencies, increased surveillance, strict law enforcement, international cooperation, and environmental awareness campaigns. Further research on the impact of illegal fishing on the sustainability of marine resources, including changes in fish populations and environmental damage, is crucial to maintain the sustainability of marine resources and the welfare of local communities.
