This mangrove regulation is designed to conserve, protect and utilize biotic and abiotic coastal ecosystem with highly emphasized to improve the indigenous coastal prosperity, integrity, to acknowledge their local wisdom, culture and facilitate direct participation in sustainable development in this province. Various consecutive methods were employed, from literature review, focus group discussion, public consultation, harmonization, local house of representative hearing and consultation with three ministry at national level. The results indicated that Mangrove Essential Ecosystem is the name of the West Papua provincial regulation with four main concerns, to protect mangrove resources; to shield, coaching and empowering mangrove ecosystem with its biotic and abiotic constituents including local communities lived, owned and used this ecosystem; to safeguard sustainable existence, solidity, functionality, and usefulness of mangrove ecosystem for local, national and international agenda, and customary rights of the indigenous communities, and to offer a justice and ownership to the customary clans/tribes related to their indigenous knowledge practices, life and livelihood dependency. This provincial regulation is officially recorded as Peraturan Daerah No 5 tahun 2022. Even though, several challenging tasks are faced, such dissemination to all stakeholders from the all level coastal communities, regional and national official representative, funding sources, and others.
