Abstract

As the national maritime security coordinator, the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency (BAKAMLA) should carry out Law No. 32 of 2014 and Presidential Regulation No. 178 of 2014 to build a sustainability-based economy to reach Indonesia as the World Maritime Axis. Based on the analysis, the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency specifically underscored the importance of creating a maritime security system and maintaining maritime safety in controlling the implementation of the Blue Secure Strategy. The research methodology used is sociological juridical. The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency (BAKAMLA) as the coordinator of civil institutions in the arrangement related to national maritime security. The result is to place BAKAMLA as a civilian institution in the maritime area as the main component of national maritime security as mandated in the Sea Spatial Regulation stated in Law No. 17 of 1985 on the ratification of UNCLOS 1982. As well as optimizing BAKAMLA as the sole coordinator of state civil institutions in maintaining the safety and security of the sea and coast guard through the Blue Secure Strategy. Blue Secure Strategy implemented as a connected security system between Indonesian territorial waters will make BAKAMLA authority roaming area more freely ranging from the archipelago's water zone to the delimitation zone while enforcing the implementation of Indonesia's Blue Secure Strategy.
