Analysis of Blue and Green Economy Integration in Marine Resources Management and Sustainable Tourism Makassar

This study investigates the use of blue and green economy in tourism development and sustainable marine resource management in Makassar. The use of blue economy focuses on coral reef protection and sustainable fisheries management, while green economy focuses on natural habitat conservation and pollution reduction. Both approaches have been applied to improve environmental quality and local community welfare. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of these policies and find problems in their implementation in the field. This study uses qualitative descriptive analysis using secondary data from government reports, literature studies, and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The results show that green and blue economy policies have been beneficial, especially in terms of improving marine ecosystems and reducing pollution. The tangible results of coral reef rehabilitation programs and marine protected zones are increased biodiversity and seawater quality. They also help the growth of sustainable tourism, reduce environmental pressures from mass tourists and improve the welfare of local communities through community empowerment. However, issues such as consistency of implementation, supervision, and infrastructure development in remote areas still need to be resolved to ensure that this management will be sustainable. Overall, an efficient management model is available through the integration of green and blue economy, but long-term success requires consistent support.
