Abstract

Indonesia’s maritime sector holds significant potential to support national economic growth by leveraging its abundant marine resources and strategic position as an archipelagic nation. Despite these geographical advantages and rich natural resources, the sector continues to face numerous challenges, ranging from limited infrastructure to the lack of integrated maritime policies. This study explores the economic potential of Indonesia’s maritime sector and analyzes the policies required to optimize its contribution to the national economy. Additionally, it examines environmental challenges, such as climate change and marine pollution, that affect the sector’s sustainability. Various innovations and technologies in sustainable fisheries and the utilization of renewable marine resources are key to addressing these challenges. Integrated policy recommendations that emphasize the sustainability of the maritime sector are essential to support inclusive and sustainable economic growth
