Long coastline: 1,837 km by land area: 2,200 km2.

Geographically, North Sulawesi province is in the northern end of the archipelago that acts as a barrier state of RI by the Philippine state, so it has a strategic value: Being on the lips Asia and Fasifik allowing became a center of regional economic activity in eastern Indonesia; Is on track trajectory Indonesian archipelagic sea lanes ALKI ALKI 2 and 3; 3. Supported by an international port.

Marine waters of North Sulawesi region has 124 islands consisting of 3 islands: Talaud Islands cluster, located at the north are administratively entered in the District Talaud Great Sangir cluster, it administratid entered in Sangihe.

Tagulandang cluster and Biaro (abbreviated Sitaro), waiting for an autonomous status. There are 15 districts / cities in North Sulawesi province, namely: Bolaang Mongondow, Bolaang Mondondow South, Bolaang Mongondow East, Bolaang Mongondow North Minahasa Regency, South Minahasa District, Southeast Minahasa Regency, North Minahasa Regency, Regency of Sangihe District Sitaro, Talaud District, City Mubagu, Bitung, Manado, City Tumohon.

The border region Talaud Islands and Sangihe Islands Regency has a title as a natural disaster-prone areas with characteristics namely; This area is a cluster of islands that lies in a series of volcanic groove that makes the structure unstable soil in almost all its territory so that the relatively high frequency of earthquakes in addition also prone to erosion and abrasion.

Profile mainland are mostly hills / mountains with steep slopes which make it difficult for the public determine the alternative settlement. Sangihe Islands Regency has 112 large and small islands are located spread out and are relatively far apart, 30 inhabited islands and 82 smaller islands are uninhabited which remain an integral part of the integrity of the Sangihe Islands Regency, so it needs to be developed, nurtured, preserved and maintained as an asset national, with the following characteristics:

1. Separation geographically with a broad balance of territorial waters (sea) 19232.37 square kilometers (95%), while the mainland is only 1012.23 square kilometers (5%), so that the area is categorized as well as the maritime area;
   
2. Level of difficulty living with significant operational cost requirements in the implementation of the management plan for regional development as one economic, administrative and other interrelated and dependence, because the existence of geographic terkeping pieces and scattered;
   
3. As a region, the region is dominated by the sea with the presence of infrastructure is very minimal given the opportunity sea exploitation of natural resources, especially fisheries in very large numbers and are not accountable to the parties who are not eligible (foreign fishermen), which already going on since decades ago until today;
   
4. Weak flow of movement and distribution of production and consumption of goods to and from each island (consumers) as well as the mobility of people in the district;
   
5. Economic activities more oriented to economic centers / trade in the city of Manado, followed dependence shipping route that has been crystallized due to business considerations (profit-oriented) entrepreneurs shipping. Side effects that emerged is the difficulty of creating jobs. Labor (coarse) better off if selling services in the city of Manado and outside areas (large cities) in general. 

The potential of natural resources and marine coastal areas of North Sulawesi province in which there are natural resources and non-living, have good prospects to be developed in order to support the development of this area. Biological resources, among others, consists of: various types of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, seaweed / algae, seagrass beds, mangroves, and coral reefs. Resource potential of coastal and marine areas of potential development for marine services, such as marine tourism and transportation.

Marine tourism potential that can be developed in this area, among others, may be the beauty of coral reefs, mangroves, sandy beaches, hot springs, and the cultural attractions of coastal communities.

In the eastern and western coastal areas of North Sulawesi until now has not managed optimally, where management has been done so far is exploitative, sectoral, and overlapping. Therefore we need to do a reorientation of policy in the management of marine and coastal resources in an integrated manner. Coastal planning well-structured expected to be a reference in the utilization and management of coastal resources to achieve integrated management of coastal areas.

The districts bordering the sea with the State Philippines contained in two (2) districts, namely Talaud Islands (Subdistrict Esang, Rainis, BeO, Tagulandang, Manganitu, Siau East, Siau West, Kendahe, Tamako, Tabukan South, Undo and Nenusa) ; and Sangihe Islands District (District of North Tabukan).

The territorial waters of North Sulawesi is a very potential and ideal for the development of the fisheries sector (the rod and cultivation). This is due to the breadth of the waters of this region. As is known, the North Sulawesi province is surrounded by the Sea of ​​Sulawesi and the Maluku Sea with enormous natural resources.

In addition, the condition of the sea water is not contaminated. Marine fish species are abundant in these waters are fish, marine animals skinned skinned soft or hard or seaweed.
