The ocean is an infinite wealth of nature that must be properly protected. However, not only protected, we must also manage the resources owned by the sea so that they can benefit the sustainable management of the sea in the future. Blue Economy is a condition of maintaining and managing marine resources while maintaining the health of the marine ecosystem. This blue economy growth can be in the form of fisheries management, marine tourism, water transportation, and marine energy utilization. This marine resource management is carried out to maintain the stability of marine resources and the ocean economy in the long term.
Currently, many countries are maximizing the use of marine energy sources by conducting in-depth ocean exploration and marine biotechnology, which is feared to affect the health and sustainability of the ocean. Blue Economy can be used as an option to still be able to manage marine resources wisely while maintaining existing resources.
In addition to maintaining the sustainability of marine resources, the Blue Economy, which plays a role in maintaining the health of marine ecosystems, also helps mitigate climate change that is being feared by sequestering carbon in marine waters. This further supports ocean resilience as well as the marine economy in the long term. In addition, the benefits of the Blue Economy will not only be felt in the present, but will also be very beneficial for the future and future generations because the sea is always maintained and managed sustainably so that its health and the integrity of its resources will be maintained until new generations.
