Abstract

The general problem of waste is faced on average by urban areas in Southeast Asian countries, along with the increasing population, followed by economic growth, changes in consumption patterns, as well as urbanization and industrialization, resulting in an increase in the potential for per capita waste generation and various types of waste produced. Indonesia, with the fourth longest coastline in the world, is the most significant contributor to marine debris after China, at 187.2 million tons per year. This research was conducted using empiric juridical methods with a statute approach and literature studies reinforced by in-depth interviews. Waste management in coastal areas to preserve and maintain the cleanliness of the sea is critical. The implementation of governance cooperation between the community and the Government can be a solution to maintaining cleanliness and preserving marine resources. This form of collaboration requires strengthening through an umbrella act in Regency Regional Regulations and Regent's Regulations.
