OVERVIEW

Indonesia shows strong potential for advancing ocean sustainability, backed by government support for the Ocean Centres initiative, a dynamic shipping sector, and its position as the world’s second-largest seaweed producer. The Scoping Phase identified key challenges, including weak policy implementation, fragmented stakeholder engagement, and inconsistent safety standards. Despite these, growing momentum in the sustainable blue economy offers opportunities for innovation, workforce training, and improved safety. Strengthening enforcement, expanding cross-sector collaboration, and adopting new technologies will be essential to unlock Indonesia’s full potential for a safe and sustainable ocean economy.
