Abstract

Indonesia expressly recognises and respects indigenous and tribal peoples' unity, as well as their traditional rights, for as long as they are alive and follow the development of the community and the principles of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, as stipulated in the Act. Adat Laot law in Aceh is one of the local wisdom that still exists in regulating the interrelationships in the process of managing marine areas and the various resources within them. In the adat laot law enforcement process, there is the Panglima laot institution, which is an adat institution that has the authority to carry out adat laot regulations and settle disputes related to adat laot law. The existence of this institution is regulated in Law Number 11 of 2006 concerning Aceh Government article 98-99 and 164 paragraph (2) letter e. This study concludes that carrying out the duties, authority, and responsibilities of the Panglima Laot Adat Institution, it has not yet been effective as expected by the law, in addition to the institutional structure, the role of the Panglima Laot institution is also unclear, especially issues related to fishermen. Therefore, it is recommended to the Regional Government of West Aceh Regency to revive and foster the existence of the Role of the Panglima Laot Adat Institution, related to the authority, functions and responsibilities by the mandate of legislation.
