Abstract

Sustainable ocean economy development requires not only sectoral progress but also strategic stakeholder alignment. This study aims to identify synergy potential across seven key sectors: fisheries, marine tourism, mining, maritime industry, marine transportation, marine construction, and marine services. A structured stakeholder integration approach was applied, combining survey data from interviews and questionnaires with secondary sources from Jakarta Provincial Government and the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The findings of this study offer insights into how stakeholder interdependence can advance sustainability across ecological, economic, and social dimensions. Ecologically, identifying leverage points and convergence zones enables more coordinated ecosystem-based management, particularly through the regulatory influence of institutions like KKP and ESDM, which hold high influence scores of 4 in fisheries and seabed mining. Their strategic roles directly impact marine resource conservation and environmental oversight. Economically, synergy among port authorities, shipping operators, and maritime industries—each with influence scores ranging from 3 to 3.5 reflects opportunities for integrated logistics, improved efficiency, and inclusive growth. These actors demonstrate mutual operational interdependence, with estimated convergence scores of 2.5, indicating moderate interest alignment. Socially, local communities and small-scale actors such as homestay owners and artisanal fishers exhibit high interest (score: 4) but limited influence (score: 1), highlighting the need for participatory governance. Their current convergence score is estimated at 1.5, suggesting partial alignment with broader sustainability goals. Inclusive facilitation and capacity-building could raise their influence to 2 and improve convergence to 3, enhancing social equity and long-term resilience.
