This study offers a unique approach to quantifying law enforcement capabilities, by calculating losses avoided through the apprehension of both domestic and foreign vessels. Covering a period spanning five years (2015-2019), these data relate to apprehended vessels (whether processed by the court or subsequently released), while also touching on various other relevant issues besides IUU fishing in RPOA-IUU-participating countries. To ensure reliability, data was collected in line with official government statements included in the RPOA-IUU Coordination Committee Meetings (CCM) Country Report. For Cambodia, data was acquired from the Fisheries Administration (FiA), as mentioned in the working paper by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED); in Indonesia, this information came directly from all four stakeholders, namely the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), the Indonesian Coast Guard (BAKAMLA), the Indonesian Navy and the Indonesian Marine Police.
