ABSTRACT
The agreement of the multilateral international marine environment as a hard law device has been widely agreed upon, but seems to have to adjust to current developments. One of the reasons is the need for good governance so that common goals can be achieved so as to prevent and reduce global marine damage and pollution such as plastic waste at sea. In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals agreement was adopted as a substitute for the Millennium Development Goals, with 17 objectives for better development in 2030. Meanwhile, each international marine environmental agreement has targets and programs that have been agreed upon previously. IMO Conventions, UNCLOS, UNEP Regional Sea's Program will be better adapted to the direction of the SDGs. Thus the success of the achievements of the SDGs requires the support of various international marine environment agreements with adjustments and harmonization between regime or institutions. Therefore the purpose of this study is to know and analyze the existence of international marine environmental agreements on the direction of the SDGs. In addition, this study wants to analyze programs that will be developed by several international marine environmental agreements as support for the objectives of the 14 SDGs to be achieved properly. The method to be used in this study is a qualitative method with a normative juridical approach. Interim results show that several international marine environmental agreements seek to adapt to the objectives of the 14 SDGs as support to be achieved in 2030.
