Abstract: Abstract This study comprehensively analyzes the transformative role of blue bonds as an innovative financing instrument designed to address crucial funding gaps in marine ecosystem conservation and restoration efforts. Against the backdrop of a global environmental crisis exacerbated by climate change, plastic pollution, and overexploitation of fisheries, there is an urgent need for funding mechanisms that are not only effective but also transparent and sustainable. Blue bonds, which are a sub-category of green bonds, offer strategic solutions by mobilizing capital from the global bond market and allocating it exclusively to projects that contribute to the development of the blue economy. This research outlines the conceptual framework of blue bonds, reviews the success of global case studies such as the Republic of Seychelles and specifically explores opportunities and challenges in their implementation in archipelagic countries such as Indonesia. Through this analysis, this study aims to provide clear policy guidance to advance the marine sustainability agenda and contribute to the achievement of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 14 and the national vision of a golden Indonesia by 2045.
