Skripsi ini menganalisa peran Indonesia terhadap pengelolaan perikanan tuna dari segi hukum-hukum dan juga dari sisi organisasi internasional maupun regional. Indonesia telah meratifikasi beberapa hukum dan ketentuan internasional seperti United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea (1982 UNCLOS), United Nations Fish Stock Agreement (1995 UNFSA) dan juga telah berhasil meratifikasi 3 Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) yaitu Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), Conventions on Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT), dan Western Central and Pacific Fisheries Organization (WCPFC). 1982 UNCLOS menyatakan bahwa masing-masing negara wajib untuk bekerja sama antara lain untuk mengelola perikanan di area laut lepas (high seas) dan juga di Zone Ekonomi Eksklusif (ZEE). Juga bisa di simpulkan bahwa organisasi internasional dan regional tersebut didirikan karena ada timbulnya isuisu pengelolaan perikanan dimana dapat merusak sumber daya, konservasi dan dapat menyebabkan penipisan stok ikan tuna. Pengelolaan perikanan di Indonesia banyak mengangkat isu-isu yang terkait dengan kasus Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) dimana kesalahan ini jelas tidak memenuhi ketentuan yang ditegaskan di hukum-hukum internasional. Isu tersebut mengangkat beberapa persoalan penting yang memperlihatkan kelemahan aplikasi Undang-Undang maupun Peraturan Menteri. Oleh sebab itu, skripsi ini menggambarkan bagaimana Indonesia memperoleh peran di pengelolaan perikanan yang berdasar dengan asas berkerlanjutan dan pemikiran jangka panjang.
