The urgency to strengthen blue carbon ecosystem settings based on theory law development to use to realize sustainable development in Indonesia

Abstract

The purpose of this study is first, to find out how the blue carbon ecosystem is currently regulated in Indonesia and secondly to find out how urgent it is to strengthen the regulation of blue carbon ecosystems in Indonesia to realize sustainable development in Indonesia. The research method used in this research is a normative juridical research method, the problem approach used in this writing is through the approach of various laws and regulations (statute approach). There are already several regulations that regulate good blue carbon ecosystems in the constitution and various laws and regulations, including Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management and Law Number 41 of 1999 concerning Forestry. In addition, it includes Law Number 32 of 2014 concerning Marine Affairs and Law Number 27 of 2007 concerning the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands as well as various other laws and regulations. However, there are still many areas that have not made regional regulations to protect mangrove areas, so the blue carbon ecosystem has not been optimally maintained. It is very necessary to establish regulations strictly to protect blue carbon ecosystems both from laws and regulations, as well as derivative regulations used to protect the use of blue carbon ecosystems to achieve sustainable development in Indonesia.
