FUTURE BLUE ECONOMY POLICY MODEL BASED ON BALANCE OF FISHERIES AND MARITIME SECTORS WITH MINING TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH IN EASTERN INDONESIA

Abstract

The blue economy is a national development goal in strengthening Indonesia's role as a maritime country. The added value of fisheries and marine affairs in recent years has been very important for national economic growth, but we are faced with challenges such as the decline in the quality of the marine environment. Around 50% of national mining reserves are in Eastern Indonesia, so this area has been designated as the center of national mining activities. Empirical facts show that mining activities have negative consequences for the sustainability of marine resources, so there is a need for an economic policy model that leads to development and economic growth based on a balance between the two. The blue economy approach is the answer to balancing these two sectors as a basis for new growth that is inclusive and resilient in order to create sustainable development. This article presents several blue economy models that refer to the balance between maritime affairs, fisheries, and mining. The direction for accelerating the development of the Sulawesi Economic Corridor will also end in 2025, so the results of this research can also be used as a reference in further preparations.
