Blue Economy Potential Through Coastal Business Diversification as a Regional Development Strategy in Kabila Bone Subdistrict

International Journal of Health, Economics, and Social Sciences (IJHESS) doi:https://doi.org/10.56338/ijhess.v8i3.9962

The blue economy provides a development framework that seeks to generate economic value from marine and coastal resources while maintaining social inclusion and ecological sustainability. Kabila Bone Subdistrict in Bone Bolango Regency has substantial coastal potential, particularly in fisheries, marine ecotourism, seafood processing, and small-scale services. However, the utilization of these resources has not been fully optimized because coastal livelihoods remain strongly dependent on capture fisheries, while business innovation, community capacity, capital access, and inter-actor coordination remain limited. This study examines the relationship between blue economy potential and coastal business diversification as a regional development strategy in Kabila Bone Subdistrict and analyzes its implementation through product innovation, community training and empowerment, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. The study employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation during January–February 2026 and involved eight informants representing the subdistrict government, coastal communities, fishers, local business actors, and marine tourism managers. The findings show that the development of whale shark ecotourism in Botubarani has become a major driver of coastal economic diversification. New activities include tourist boat rental, guiding services, coastal cuisine, souvenirs, seafood processing, and other marine-resource-based microenterprises. These activities have expanded household income opportunities, generated employment, and strengthened local economic resilience. Nevertheless, diversification remains uneven and is concentrated around tourism; seafood processing, aquaculture, and other sectors are still limited. Product innovation is mostly incremental, training programs are not consistently followed by mentoring, and collaboration among government, communities, and businesses remains largely informal. The study concludes that blue economy development can support sustainable regional development when diversification is accompanied by stronger institutional coordination, continuous capacity building, improved access to finance and technology, and more inclusive distribution of economic opportunities.
