Fishing activity is concentrated in Pulau Baai port, which is located approximately 20 km south of the capital city of Bengkulu. The port is a major port as a supporter of economy in the region supported hiterland areas along the western coast of Sumatra. In addition Baai Island, there are two other fish landing ports (PPI) are Pasar Baru and Tapak Padri. 17 In this article, the term used is fishing fleet/fishing transport fleet because fishing fleet can be operated as fish carrier fleet and it is allowed under Act No. 45 Year 2009. Both types of fleets are also burdened with the same obligations in terms of landing fish. Fishing fleets landing on Pulau Baai varied ranging from fishing boats weighing up to 10 GT untill 30 GT. This article does not use the term fisherman boats because this term is not contained in the Fisheries Act. Fisherman is interpreted as anyone whose livelihoods are fishing, so the term is too general to be used in this study. Furthermore, the obligation of fish landings in the PPI is charged to owners of fishing fleets and fleets transporting fish, not the fishermen. If connected with law in books, both the fishing fleet and fish carrier fleets owner is subject to the same obligations, that they need to land the fish on the PPI which has been set in SIPI and/or SIKPI. However, if observed, in the region adjacent to PPI Pasar Baru are small fishing fleets anchored on the shore and on the land side there is outside the PPI we can see fish selling activity. 18 Besides, local fishermen land their fish at their own dock and fish traders buy fish directly to the fleet. 19 Facing the fact of unload the fish, what have been done by local fishermen hasn’t arose a conflict. However, if loading and unloading fish outside PPI then it will be difficult to keep tabs on the amount of fish caught, what type of fish caught, 17 Ocean Fishing Port of Bengkulu is Pulau Baai 18 Surveyed at PPI Pasar Baru and around it, Sunday, March 24 2013. 19 Retrieved from http://www.bisnis-sumatra.com/index.php/2013/02/kondisi-tempat-pelelangan-ikan- bengkulu-buruk/ , Tuesday, March 26 2013 วารสารวิชาการนิติศาสตร์ มหาวิทยาลัยทักษิณ ปีที่ 5 ฉบับที่ 7 มกราคม - ธันวาคม 2557 
