Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of the blue economy in promoting local economic growth in coastal areas of Indonesia. Using secondary data from 2013-2022, this study employs multiple regression analysis to evaluate the impact of maritime sectors, namely fisheries, marine tourism, sea transportation, and ocean energy, on local economic growth. The results indicate that none of these sectors significantly impact local economic growth in the analyzed sample. While the sea transportation sector shows a positive relationship, its contribution is not statistically significant. Conversely, both the fisheries and marine tourism sectors exhibit a negative correlation with local economic growth. Factors such as inadequate infrastructure, unsustainable management practices, and limited innovation are considered to be the primary reasons for the low contribution of these sectors. This study recommends enhancing the management of maritime resources, increasing investment in sea transportation infrastructure, and supporting the development of ocean energy to maximize the potential of the blue economy in Indonesia.
