Food Security Problems in Marine Resources (Case Study of Marine Debris)

Research on the issue of food security in marine resources has been conducted, that is about the case study of marine debris. Indonesia is one of the largest maritime countries in the world. Indonesia's area is 7.81 million km2. At this time Indonesia is trying to optimize the role of the sea to support national development. The sea and all its resources play a role in supporting food security. Indonesia's challenge in realizing marine sustainability is hampered by marine debris. The escalation of marine debris will continue to increase along with increased urbanization, production, and consumption. This study uses qualitative methods, which examine marine debris in Indonesia and its effects. Every year Indonesia's oceans produce waste of 3.22 million tons. Then, the estimated leakage of marine plastic waste metrics is 0.48-1.29 million tons. Indonesia's marine debris is 41% dominated by plastic waste. Micro plastics endanger the lives of organisms. Plastic waste is very influential in the occurrence of climate change. Starting from the production process, consumption to disposal that produces high carbon emissions. Food security, sustainable marine sustainability, and climate change greatly affect human security. Therefore, Indonesia must optimize the role of the sea to support food security.
