Illegal fishing is one of the biggest problems currently being faced from various existing marine and fishery activity problems. The fishing ground in other countries has started to run out, while the abundance of fish in the Indonesian seas makes foreign fishermen tempted to exploit fish in the Indonesian sea illegally, especially in the areas around the coast of Riau province, for example, in the Kabupaten of Meranti. This research with the systematic literature review method attempted to analyze how Indonesia's strategies and policies are in maintaining the defense of the border areas to prevent illegal fishing in the coastal waters of Riau Province in a sustainable manner using a systems approach. The results of the study stated that the occurrence of illegal fishing is also triggered by the need and demand for certain fish stocks that have high economic value, especially those consumed by visitors of expensive restaurants overseas.
