Abstract

Lingga Regency has 531 large and small islands spread throughout an area of 45,508 km2 that is made up of 2,235 km2 of land and 43,273 km2 of ocean. The potential of several tiny islands’ natural and marine resources is yet untapped. Regarding the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands, currently governed by Law No. 1 of 2014 and Law No. 27 of 2007, (UU PWP3K). The issue is framed as follows: How is the PWP3K Law being implemented, and what challenges is the Lingga Regency government facing?. In this study, a statutory approach is combined with the research of a normative legal. The secondary data and the data was analyzed using analytical and descriptive methods. The research determined that the PWP3K Law’s implementation had not gone smoothly because the Province of Riau Island, which serves as the legal guardrail for the Government of Lingga Regency in controlling coastal areas and small islands, had not yet issued a regional regulation on the Zoning Plan for Coastal Areas and Small Islands. Despite the fact that the majority of the population is employed as fisherman and the region itself falls under the category of Coastal and Small Island regions, the government of Lingga Regency now gives agriculture and agro-industry development programs priority. The Law No. 23 of 2014 about Regional Government, which restricts the jurisdiction of the Provincial and Regency/Municipal Governments in terms of managing the ocean, the coast, and small islands, is another challenge that the Government of Lingga Regency must overcome. To give Regency/City Governments back control over managing marine areas, coastal areas, and small islands, the House of Representatives and the President must amend and harmonize Law No. 23 of 2014 on Regional Government, Law No. 1 of 2014 on Amendments to Law No. 27 of 2007 on the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands, and Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation.
