Salutary neglect was a British colonial policy that allowed the American colonies considerable freedom to govern themselves, which fostered economic growth and encouraged a sense of autonomy. The advantages included the development of local governance and trade practices that benefitted the colonies. However, the disadvantages included a growing disconnect between the colonies and Britain, leading to tensions and eventual conflict as the colonies began to resist British authority and demand greater independence. This laid the groundwork for revolutionary sentiments that culminated in the American Revolution.

No, salutary neglect was when the British neglected to enforce what was going on in the colonies, while the navigation acts were restricted and/or abolished the colonists trade with countries other then Britain, mercantilism. So salutary neglect was exactly the opposite of "enforcing" anything.
