Indonesia's status as an archipelagic state places maritime governance as a strategic policy agenda that requires effective cross-sectoral coordination. Presidential Regulation Number 16 of 2017 on the Indonesian Ocean Policy is operationalized through Presidential Regulation Number 85 of 2021 on the Indonesian Ocean Policy Action Plan (RA-KKI) 2021–2025, which functions as a coordination instrument for implementing the seven pillars of national maritime policy. The expiration of the RA-KKI in 2025 without a successor regulation has created a potential implementation gap that may affect legal certainty, inter-ministerial coordination, monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and alignment with the National Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPN) 2025–2045. This study employs normative legal research using a statutory approach to examine the legal status of the RA-KKI, the implications of its expiration, and the urgency of establishing a post-2025 action plan. The findings demonstrate that the RA-KKI is not merely a planning document but an administrative law instrument that operationalizes the Indonesian Ocean Policy through the allocation of institutional responsibilities, performance indicators, and cross-sectoral coordination mechanisms. Therefore, the Government should promptly enact a new Presidential Regulation establishing the 2026–2030 RA-KKI, integrated with the RPJPN 2025–2045 and supported by measurable performance indicators and institutionalized evaluation mechanisms to strengthen coherent, accountable, and sustainable maritime governance
