Legal Protection of Indonesian Coral Reefs in Papua Province

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Coral reefs are a source of marine diversity that must be protected, not only for therelationship between their ecosystem and other biota, but also for their economicvalue. Indonesia is an archipelagic country with 116 small islands and groups ofsmall islands that are susceptible to ecological damage. Indonesia possesses a greatdiversity of flora and fauna, including coral reefs. Indonesia’s sea territory is twothirdsthe size of its land territory, and much of the nation’s ecological diversity lieswithin this water expanse. As coral reefs form a part of Indonesia’s marine diversity,we must protect them. This paper will discuss Indonesian regulations pertaining tothe protection of coral reefs with a particular focus on Radja Ampat, Papua. Theprincipal sources of relevant Indonesian statutory law are Law No. 23 Year 1997,regarding Environmental Management, and Law No. 5 Year 1990, regardingBiological Diversity and Ecosystems. These laws may be used to protect marineenvironments, especially coral reefs. At the international level, the United NationsConvention on the Law of the Sea and the Convention on Biological Diversitycomplement the laws enacted by Indonesia. Radja Ampat is located in PapuaProvince, and is known as a premier diving site. Surveys have brought Raja Ampat’stotal number of confirmed species of coral to 537, representing an incredible 75% ofall known coral species. Sadly, marine pollution in Radja Amapt is decreasing boththe quality and quantity of coral reefs
