Fisheries and shipping are important sectors that support the economic, social, and cultural life of Aceh's coastal communities. In addition to formal regulations stipulated in laws, government regulations, and the Aceh Qanun, there is also customary maritime law implemented by the Panglima Laot institution. This institution has a strategic function in maintaining marine sustainability, regulating seagoing regulations, resolving disputes between fishermen, and protecting fishermen's rights. This condition reflects the existence of legal pluralism, namely the interaction between formal state law and customary law. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal pluralism in protecting the fishing and shipping industries in Aceh and explore the role of Panglima Laot within this framework. The method used is qualitative with a descriptive-analytical approach through literature studies, interviews with fishermen and customary leaders, and regulatory reviews. The results show that Panglima Laot has strong social legitimacy among fishermen, is effective in mediating disputes, and maintains the sustainability of marine resources. However, there are obstacles such as limited formal recognition in national law, conflicts between central and regional regulations, and weak institutional capacity. Thus, the integration between customary law and formal law needs to be strengthened, while also increasing the capacity of the Panglima Laot so that they can play an optimal role in protecting the fishing and shipping industries in Aceh.
