Technology and sustainability have enabled the Blue Revolution to boost marine and fisheries production in underdeveloped nations like Indonesia. As the greatest maritime nation, Indonesia can use its marine resources. Unfortunately, overexploitation, environmental deterioration, and biodiversity loss threaten this sector’s future. Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) uses symbiotic interactions between fish, seaweed, and shellfish to increase fisheries production sustainably. This approach improves resource efficiency, environmental protection, and coastal community economic resilience. IMTA is a sustainable strategy in Indonesia’s Blue Revolution’s circular economy. This comprehensive literature analysis of secondary data, research findings, and publications highlights IMTA’s potential to promote marine sector sustainability in Indonesia and beyond. Nonetheless, the adoption of IMTA among participants in the Indonesian fisheries industry is constrained by several factors, including insufficient knowledge and skills, inadequate policy support, and a need for more dissemination and promotional initiatives. A thorough distribution plan involving technical outreach, training, and field demonstrations is required to promote the broad adoption of IMTA. Fishermen and pond farmers must also be encouraged to use IMTA methods through regulatory assistance, such as price incentives for sustainable fisheries goods and easy access to finance. The importance of the circular economy in relation to integrated mariculture is emphasized in this chapter. It gives stakeholders and legislators insight into initiatives to support the sustainability of Indonesia’s maritime industry during the Blue Revolution. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.
