Coastal areas play a crucial role in maintaining economic and ecological stability, especially for countries with extensive coastlines and rich marine resources like Indonesia. These areas support various industries, including fisheries, tourism, and aquaculture, contributing significantly to local and national economies. However, the rapid exploitation of coastal resources has led to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and the marginalization of local communities, making sustainable management imperative. This paper discusses blue economy as a viable approach to addressing these challenges. Blue economy promotes the efficient and equitable use of marine resources, aiming to balance economic growth with environmental conservation and social welfare. It diverges from traditional economic models by emphasizing sustainability and long-term environmental health. Key strategies of blue economy include integrating innovative technologies, implementing eco-friendly practices, and encouraging community-based management to achieve a harmonious relationship between development and ecosystem conservation. This study explores the application of blue economy principles in coastal management through case studies from various Indonesian regions. It examines policy frameworks, technology adoption, and community empowerment as essential components for sustainable development. The findings indicate that integrating blue economy principles through community engagement, sustainable technology, and cross-sector collaboration can enhance the economic value of coastal areas while preserving biodiversity. Moreover, this approach improves the stability and socioeconomic conditions of local communities. The paper’s implications highlight that adopting a blue economy framework for coastal management can serve as a sustainable model for other regions facing similar challenges. This model not only addresses immediate environmental and socioeconomic issues but also ensures long-term sustainability. It offers policymakers and stakeholders a strategic framework for promoting sustainable economic growth while maintaining the ecological balance of coastal areas. By implementing blue economy-based management, coastal regions can enhance their competitiveness and resilience against global environmental and economic pressures, contributing to a balanced and prosperous future for coastal communities.
