Marine Waste Management Policy As An Effort To Prevent Environmental Pollution And Sustainability Of Marine Ecosystems: Indonesia Perspective
Summary
This paper reviews Indonesia's marine waste management policies and concludes that plastic waste is the dominant type of marine litter in Indonesian waters, but existing regulations have not been fully enforced. The authors call for stronger upstream and downstream controls on plastic production and disposal to protect marine ecosystems, which are major sources of seafood for human consumption.
This article aims to explain the Marine Waste and its handling policies and how is Efforts to Prevent Pollution. The vast expanse of Indonesia's maritime territory has led to the accumulation of waste in the sea. This waste has significant implications for the sustainability of human life, marine biota, and the marine environment. The research findings reveal that plastic waste occupies the foremost position among all types of waste found in Indonesian waters. Although Indonesia already has regulations governing marine waste, such as Presidential Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 83 of 2018, concerning Marine Waste Management, the implementation of these regulations has not been fully maximized. There is a need for regulations that support the reduction and management of plastic waste, both upstream and downstream. Effective enforcement of regulations requires the collaboration of law enforcement agencies, society, and private entities that are committed to environmental conservation. By doing so, not only can the seas be protected from pollution, but sustainable development can also be realized.
