The policies of development, sea conservation, fisheries, and sea gardens in Maluku have largely been influenced by imitative thinking. There has been criticism of the damage to the sea, while the management has been flawed due to the perception that the sea could be treated as a garbage dump. The common property regime has led to a potential dilemma with the sea seen as everybody's property and nobody's property. The need for awareness and restoration of hope is emphasized in "The Magnificent Underwater World of Ambon Island, Maluku-Indonesia". The book aims to highlight the value of the sea and recommends a reconfiguration of sea policies to benefit all.
