Abstract

Maritime development from the infrastructure, political, socio-cultural, legal, security, and economic perspectives, upholding the sovereignty of Indonesia^s maritime territory, revitalizing the maritime economic sectors, strengthening and developing maritime connectivity, rehabilitating environmental damage and biodiversity conservation, and increasing the quality and quantity of Maritime human resources are the primary programs for establishing Indonesia as the world^s m One of the ways this will be accomplished is by strengthening and improving regulations in the marine sector in order to obtain benefits, certainty in its development, and fairness for all individuals. The research method employed is normative, which will review and analyze existing rules and then make recommendations for their enhancement. The research reveals that the regulatory system in the Indonesian marine sector overlaps, making it unfocused and uncommunicated to the public. As a result, law enforcement, protection, conservation, and enhancement of Indonesian coastal areas are not optimized. So that people^s welfare remains secure and the marine environment is also safeguarded, sustainable development-based regulations must be more directed and specific.
