| dc.description.abstract | The coastal state has sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring and
exploiting the natural resources, whether living or non-living, and the state has
the obligation to protect the marine environment. The Indonesian marine
environment with all potentials of natural resources and the uniquenes of
geographical condition of Indonesian waters, in fact have to accept various
activities, like the increase of more and more of the traffic frequency of vessels,
as consequence of the implementation of the rights of international navigation,
coupled with an increase of international trades, besides the fishery activities
and traffic activities of inter-island sailing. All these activities have some
potentials of causing the pollution of the marine environment. This marine
pollution can damage the natural resources, either living or non-living. That's
why provisions for the protection of the marine environment from pollution
caused by vessels are necessary.
The method used in this research is the normative juridical, and
comparative method. All data are conducted through library research. All
supporting data are obtained from interviewing related experts on the problems
under study, while data analysis is conducted through a qualitative approach.
The results of the research shows that provisions for the international
protection of the environment are not comprehensive. They are fragmented in
several provisions. The Indonesian provision to protect the marine environment
shows some improvements, but lacks harmony. In the implementation of
international provisions to protect the environment, yuridic and non-yuridic
approach are need in order to protect the marine environment. The
development of national provision related to the marine environment is need. | en_US |
