The Distribution of Authority Regulation by Local Governments in Effort To Manage Marine Resources In Indonesia

Management of Marine Resources in Indonesia is regulated in Act no. 22 of 1999, Act no. 32 of 2004, and Act no. 23 of 2014. These three regulations apply a concept that prefers the General Competence Principle or Doctrine of Ultra Vires. The research method performed normative with a statute approach and the analytical technique used qualitative. Given the results of this study, it shows that the current management of marine resources by the local government favors the doctrine of ultra vires through the elimination of marine management authority by the regency/city government. It affects the psychological aspect of local governments to make an optimal contribution to the management of marine resources in their respective area. For this reason, it is necessary to balance the application of the General Competence Principle or Doctrine of Ultra vires to create an amicable relationship between the central government, provincial governments, and regency/city governments.
