This cooperation framework is contained in regulations or decree related to the BSC management committee that are ratified within the province. The framework for cooperation is also strengthened by the establishment of a fishery management institution at the national level as stated in the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Ministerial Decree No. 22/2021 (Doc: Permen KP No. 22 Tahun 2021). Scoring issue c) Settlement of legal disputes is carried out based on existing regulations.

Indonesia has a number of laws for managing fisheries and marine resources and the environment. There are several ministries that can contribute to the effectiveness of achieving fisheries management objectives. While there is a framework, there is a lack of coordination between the different government levels and what happens at the fishing grounds. There are Laws for fishermen protection and empowerment which is observed. As these laws are not yet codified within the fishery management system and these rights are considered to be unclear, inconsistent (in that not all Indonesian laws include this recognition) and in some cases have no binding power (Huda, N. et. al. 2018). The framework able to help the score, but the lack of coordination between different institution and the unclear law able to decrease the score to 60-79.
