The vast expanse of Indonesia's maritime territory has led to the accumulation of waste in the sea. This waste has significant implications for the sustainability of human life, marine biota, and the marine environment.

By doing so, not only can the seas be protected from pollution, but sustainable development can also be realized.]]>
