Abstract
Abstract. This study aims to examine the role of state administrative governance in coastal environmental protection through licensing and supervisory instruments, which have long served as the government^s primary tools for controlling activities with the potential to cause ecological degradation. This research employs a normative juridical method with a descriptive-analytical specification, analyzing the core legal issues based on the applicable regulatory framework. The findings reveal that administrative instruments such as Environmental Impact Assessments (AMDAL), environmental permits, and location permits frequently lose their substantive function due to weak institutional integrity, inadequate oversight, and limited public participation. The analysis also highlights the need to integrate ecology-based administrative instruments, establish continuous monitoring mechanisms, and strengthen administrative law enforcement that is not only reactive but also preventive and corrective. This study asserts that coastal environmental sustainability cannot be achieved without robust, transparent, and intergenerationally just state administrative governance.
