Indonesia as an archipelagic country has an open sea area and the existence of the Indonesian Archipelago Sea Channel (ALKI) which creates vulnerabilities to various possible threats. It is appropriate for the Indonesian government to make the security of the Indonesian Archipelago Sea Lanes a priority in its issued maritime policies. This paper will analyze the marine defense strategy of the Indonesian government in order to enforce the law on the sea lanes of the Indonesian archipelago by using theories of marine defense strategies and law. The writing method used is a descriptive qualitative literature study. The next writer will formulate the marine defense strategy of the The Indonesian government in order to enforce the law on the sea lanes of the Indonesian archipelago so that it can be optimal through theories and concepts about marine defense strategies and law enforcement on the Indonesian Archipelago Sea Channel. The results showed that law enforcement was not optimal in the sea lanes of the Indonesian archipelago so that there were still obstacles. As a conclusion, law enforcement on the Indonesian archipelagic sea lanes can be carried out in the ways agreed upon in the 1982 Unclos which was ratified by Indonesia with Law no. 17 of 1985 and strengthened by PP. 37 of 2002. to achieve defense objectives in maintaining and protecting the sovereignty of the country, the territorial integrity of the Republic of Indonesia and the safety of the entire nation from all forms of threats.
