Abstract
Marine ecosystems are one of the most extensive and diverse biological natural resources.
Unfortunately, at this time the marine ecosystem is starting to be threatened. According to
preliminary calculations from the Coordinating Team for the National Secretariat for Handling
Marine Debris, the total waste entering the sea in 2020 is estimated to reach 521,540 tons, of
which around 12,785 tons originate from activities at sea. The purpose of this research is to see
how the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on marine ecosystems. Researchers want to see if
the Covid-19 pandemic has a positive impact that can be used as a reference for improving a
sustainable marine ecosystem. The method that the researcher uses in this research is the
literature study method using previous research journals as a reference for data collection.
Based on the literature study that has been carried out, the researchers obtained the results that
the Covid-19 pandemic had positive and negative impacts on marine ecosystems. The positive
impact caused is the reduction in human activities during the Covid 19 pandemic, making
marine ecosystems have a high probability of recovering. While the negative impact is the
increase in waste production. Because when the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, many people
shopped through online applications. However, seeing that the restriction of human activity
during the Covid-19 pandemic has a positive impact on marine ecosystems, this policy can be
continued. By limiting visitors who come to marine tourism areas. For example, marine tourism
is only opened 3 times a week and visitors who are allowed to come cannot be more than 30
people. This is expected to reduce marine pollution caused by human hands.
