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).

Various national and international laws and regulations are existed to protect freshwater, coastal and marine ecosystem.
