Abstract
Indonesia-s most territory is ocean. So, it is not impossible to make Indonesia as the world-s maritime centre or even as world-s maritime axis, as we dreamed. In the history of Amanna Gappa stated that the world-s maritime laws came from Nusantara. It becomes a strong background for Indonesia to rise through maritime. In order to do that, it requires sea management. Without a structured and integrated sea management, the dream of rising Indonesia through maritime will only be a dream. It becomes a benefit as Indonesia-s greatest God gifts is ocean which it is two-third of Indonesia-s geographical location. In order to take the benefit of it, Indonesia should have a distinctive sea management. It includes the concepts of defense, security and safeness. It is a soveregnity concept on the limitation and regulation at sea. As there are differences on land and sea concepts. There are clear fences or boundaries on land. On the contrary, sea is a wide open water with no boundaries. The foundation of Indonesia as the world-s maritime axis is hopefully by optimizing the sea management.
