Preface

Abstract

As a country with an abundance of coastal and marine natural resources, Indonesia has always endorsed the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a global development agreement. This year, Indonesia holds the Presidency of the G20 and will discuss issues of biodiversity, climate change, protection of marine ecosystems, IUU fishing, and marine debris, including the blue economy. Today’s seminar also supports the goals of the G20 from Indonesia by providing a forum for researchers from various countries. Together we have gone through the covid-19 pandemic which has changed many things in our lives, including in the marine sector. The issues presented in this seminar are of course still related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The challenges we face today are not only from the anthropogenic stressor but also from COVID-19 pandemic. For example, we have to rapidly adapt to this situation where we rely so much on technology. This applies too in the marine and fisheries sectors where innovations are the keys to keeping up in this 4.0 industry era. The SDGs are expected to involve many parties, from the government, the private sector, the community, and academia. Collaboration among researchers in this topic is the key to success in achieving these goals, and cross-disciplinary collaboration in marine science is also expected to trigger research and development activities such as accelerating the process of an activity, maintaining environmental quality and product quality, to growing other business units that support existing businesses.List of Conference Chair, Editor in Chief, Editorial Committee, Scientific Committee, Assistant Editors, ISOSS Documentation are available in this Pdf.
