Summary:The purpose of this paper is to analyse problems with the legislative framework and institutional arrangements underpinning marine protected area and marine resource management in Indonesia. The paper identifies current difficulties with coordination, functional overlap, and unclear mandates of government agencies for dealing with marine protected areas and marine resources management. Analysis of the legal framework and institutional arrangements is not intended to solve the problem as a whole, but to assist in explaining the broad and complex issues arising from the enactment of the new Regional Government Act. This paper suggests improvements to marine protected area and marine resource management in Indonesia through enhanced coordinating mechanisms and amendments to the new Regional Government Act. The paper argues that an adequate and appropriate legal framework and institutional arrangement will promote sustainable development and management of Indonesia marine areas.
