1. The Beginning of National Maritime Day Commemoration

The sea has been an important part of the journey of the Indonesian nation for a long time. The vast potential of resources, along with the challenges in their management, drives the need for a collective awareness to protect aquatic areas.

During President Suharto's administration, the government established July 2 as National Maritime Day through Presidential Decree Number 5 of 1972. This designation became a form of the state's commitment to remind the public of the importance of the sea for the nation's life.

Since then, the commemoration of National Maritime Day has been held every year. In addition to fostering concern for the marine environment, this momentum also serves as a form of appreciation for maritime actors and those who contribute to the protection of Indonesia's aquatic areas.

2. Simple Steps to Protect Indonesia's Seas

Protecting the sea is not only the responsibility of the government. The role of the community is also very important in supporting the sustainability of marine ecosystems.

One step that can be taken is to reduce the use of single-use plastics. Plastic waste remains a major threat that pollutes the oceans and endangers various marine biota.

The community can also participate in conservation activities, beach cleanup campaigns, and get into the habit of disposing of waste properly. Additionally, educating family and the surrounding environment can help raise collective awareness about the importance of protecting the sea.
