Indonesia is a maritime country with all its rich marine resources. With wealth such as renewable resources, non-renewable resources, marine energy sources, and huge environmental services, it is a great loss if it cannot protect the waters. One of the efforts to maintain and manage the territorial waters is through maritime diplomacy. Seeing this, maritime diplomacy should be one of the main pillars in the development of maritime security in Indonesia. Maritime diplomacy does not only apply to certain negotiations and agreements, but also plays a role in responding to security disturbances. Through this maritime diplomacy, it is also hoped that defense capabilities will gradually increase. This paper will discuss maritime diplomacy in order to improve the quality of human resources. This paper is prepared by a qualitative descriptive method. Maritime diplomacy carried out by Indonesia adheres to the same foreign policy, which is free and active. Maritime diplomacy can improve the quality of human resources through the transfer of knowledge and information with cooperation between countries.

Destructive fishing has emerged as a critical threat to maritime ecosystems, posing severe risks to the economy, ecosystem sustainability, resource management, and national security, along with its complex cross-sectoral impacts in coastal areas. As a form of illegal fishing, its harmful consequences necessitate comprehensive scrutiny. This research aims to categorize destructive fishing as an anthropogenic disaster from a maritime security perspective, emphasizing its broad cross-sectoral effects. Employing a qualitative methodology alongside an extensive literature review, this study integrates disaster and maritime security theories, supported by relevant case studies, to thoroughly investigate the issue. The findings reveal that destructive fishing practices qualify as non-natural or anthropogenic disasters, with impacts directly stemming from human activities. These practices damage marine resource ecosystems, disrupt economies, compromise human security, and threaten national security in coastal regions. The study concludes that destructive fishing constitutes an anthropogenic disaster, demanding an urgent, coordinated response from multiple stakeholders. This research advocates for the development and implementation of policies that address the technical dimensions of maritime security, integrate disaster management strategies, and incorporate anthropological insights. Such policies are essential for devising and executing sustainable solutions to this pervasive issue on a global scale.

Background: We know that the whole world is facing the same problem, namely the COVID-19 pandemic, including Indonesia. The Indonesian government has made every effort to reduce the pace of the COVID-19 pandemic by establishing policies and regulations such as implementing health protocols, and others. Covid-19 is a non-natural disaster that affects all aspects of life including the nation's character. The younger generation or those who are known as millennials as a determinant of the nation's character have an important role during the Covid-19 pandemic. The problem at this time is that millennials live in a modern and instant era that shapes them to be free, individualistic, and active in the field of technology. This has caused the millennial generation to start forgetting their love for the Motherland and Defending the Country. Methods: The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative and the human instrument is the researcher. A descriptive qualitative method in the form of analyzing and drawing conclusions using various sources of literature. Results: In times of peace and war, young intellectuals as the national guard in non-military defense have a crucial role as potential agents of change in shaping the character and character of the nation. The serious challenges faced by the younger generation must also be addressed by maintaining a balance between intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence as well as spiritual intelligence. It is hoped that the balance of these three factors will manifest the behavior of young people who always uphold morals and ethics of honesty and nationality. This ability is a form of defending the country on a fine spectrum that needs to be carried out by young people in times of peace. From the perspective of national defense, it is precisely this role of defending the country in the soft spectrum that will determine the quality of the nation's defense and resilience in the future. The toughness and tenacity and ability of the nation to develop the potential of national strength to become a solid state defense force need to be built on the values of nationalism and defense of the country. From the perspective of national resilience, these three basic elements are prerequisites that must be fostered early, continuously, integrated and sustainable. Intellectual intelligence which is a great potential possessed by young people must be able to be developed in a balanced way with emotional intelligence, moral intelligence, and spiritual intelligence. During the Covid-19 pandemic, it turned out that the millennial generation showed high concern and made good contributions as a form of defending the country to maintain national resilience and support the Indonesian government in preventing and handling unexpected events such as Covid-19. Conclusion: The existence of social media as a form of technological progress can be used to hold fundraising events which will later be given to underprivileged communities affected by Covid-19 and medical personnel who lack PPE (personal protective equipment). With the urgency of Indonesia's current situation, the younger generation is required to care about using technology as best as possible in an effort to defend the country which is carried out to help the government and show love for the motherland, harmonious relations between the government and its people, and awareness of the obligations of the nation and state.
