The practice of fishing using bombs (blast fishing) presents a serious threat to marine ecosystems and the sustainability of coastal communities' livelihoods. Law enforcement against these violations faces complex challenges, especially in large areas of water with limited fleet and patrol personnel. Perpetrators who move quickly and change locations, coupled with the lack of reports from the public due to fear or social ties, further complicate enforcement efforts. In addition, access to hidden locations and coordination between law enforcement agencies that are not optimal are also the main obstacles. Global studies confirm that the lack of effective law enforcement and adequate governance is a significant driver of these destructive practices, even beyond socio-economic factors. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed that includes strengthening integrated marine patrols on a regular basis, imposing strict sanctions, increasing socialization of the dangers of fish bombs, and the active involvement of coastal communities as supervisors. A synergistic approach between law enforcement officials and local communities, combining prevention and joint management measures, is key to achieving effective marine conservation and sustainable management of fishery resources.

This research aims to analyze the public's perception of career women's efforts in achieving work-life balance, as well as its impact on the dual role experience. The research focus includes the view of society, obstacles experienced by women, and the social implications of the dual role of women. The results of the study based on the questionnaire showed that 74,94% of the people had a positive perception of career women and judged that the balance of work and life can be achieved through time management and family support, while 25,06% had a neutral to negative perception that considered that career women were not optimal in carrying out domestic roles, thus causing social pressure and role conflicts. This perception contributes to stress levels, emotional fatigue, and difficulties in achieving work-life balance. This finding also reveals that education factors, working experience with women, family roles, and social environment affect the formation of perceptions. This research is expected to contribute in increasing public understanding and encouraging policies that support women's careers both in social and work.

This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the application of legal and economic principles of food security in Rias Village, Toboali District. Food security is a crucial issue because it is directly related to survival, welfare, and regional economic stability. However, the community's understanding of food security is often limited to food availability, without considering its relationship with legislation and the dynamics of the village economy. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach that included in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation of the local community. The results of the study show that the people of Rias Village have a positive perception of the importance of food security, especially from an economic perspective, such as market access, food prices, and business capital. However, understanding of legal aspects is still limited, especially regarding government and local regulations that should protect the community's right to access food. This perception confirms that the successful implementation of food security principles in Rias Village is influenced by legal policies that favor the community and economic strategies that encourage local food self-sufficiency.
