Legal protection for the environment and coastal communities against the threat of marine ecosystem degradation

Abstract

Abstract Climate change is impacting the global marine environment at unprecedented levels and has multifaceted implications for marine and coastal ecosystems. This study aimed to examine legal instruments within the framework of Indonesias positive law and provide legal protection for the environment and coastal communities facing threats to marine ecosystem degradation. This study applies the normative-empirical legal research method, which focuses on the harmonization of regulations and policies related to environmental protection and coastal communities. Normative research generally uses several approaches, including conceptual, historical, statutory (conventional), comparative, and case approaches. This research shows that legal protection for the environment and coastal communities can be carried out by applying legal instruments to regulate communities and other stakeholders to prevent the degradation of marine ecosystems.
