Analysis Of The Coastal Economic Potential With Based On The Blue Economy Concept In Realizing Village SDGs

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic potential of coastal marine resources in achieving the Blue Economy concept in Langkat Regency, North Sumatra province. The contribution of the fisheries and marine sectors has increased, followed by the development of mangrove forest-based village tourism. However, the potential in the mangrove area has not been achieved optimally because the economic use of the results of the mangrove ecosystem has not been economically exploited. Therefore the economic level of the community in the coastal area of ​​Langkat Regency is still relatively low and has not been able to develop other sectors based on coastal ecosystems. The development of technology and industrialization in today's economy are two things that are contradictory to the preservation of the natural environment around the world because the drive to improve the economy produces a lot of natural damage associated with unsustainable development. Consequently, the development of the economic sector becomes a strong challenge for the world economy by using a system that tends to be exploitative. The pattern of planning and management of the marine and fisheries sector must be reflected in the RPJMD and the strategic plan for Langkat Regency.
