This article aims to explain the conflict in Lhok Meureubo in relation to the legal ban of the usage of trawl, the conflict settlement process, as well as the steps taken by the Government of West Aceh district in anticipating its usage in the future. The methods applied include normative and empirical research. The normative research is done through legal materials. While the empirical one is conducted by interviewing a sample of purposively selected sample. The conflict in Lhok Meureubo is due to the use of trawling gear, it has been happening since 2003.
