Abstract: Water pollution in Indonesia occurred in several water bodies, which consist of rivers, lakes,
reservoirs and the sea. The main source of water pollution is the waste from various human
activities (anthropogenic), among others, domestic, agricultural (including fisheries and
livestock) and industrial waste (such as textiles and mining). In this paper, we conduct the
comprehensive studies on the impact of marine pollution on coastal ecosystem degradation in
Indonesia. Possible approaches were also discussed in relation to the one of key point of
sustainable development goals (SDGs). Water pollution in Indonesia occurred in several water bodies, which consist of rivers, lakes,

comprehensive studies on the impact of marine pollution on coastal ecosystem degradation in
Indonesia. Possible approaches were also discussed in relation to the one of key point of
sustainable development goals (SDGs). Various national and international laws and regulations are existed to protect freshwater, coastal
and marine ecosystem. However, law enforcement is difficult and pollution is still continuously
occurred. In Indonesia, there is the Act of Republic of Indonesia and the Indonesian Government
Regulation and also the Decree of Environment Minister and other ministers who organize and
regulate pollution issues both in freshwater and also in the sea. Furthermore, there is also
standard water quality for all designation in both freshwater and seawater. |
