How could the Indonesian churches’ ministry of  diakonia  contribute to overcoming the marine ecological crisis? Because the poor suffer the most from that crisis,  diakonia , which considers looking after the poor as one of its concerns, can play a critical role. However, instead of focusing exclusively on human interest, this article seeks to conceptualise  diakonia  as a ministry that has concerns for all creatures whose lives rely on the sea, and the sea itself. I begin with integrating the marine ecological crisis into  diakonia  by engaging with theological discourses on  diakonia  to suggest that such an integration is plausible and necessary. This integration leads to a discussion on the emerging discourse of eco- diakonia  to argue that the sea should be a recipient of  diakonia . Then, based on the encounter between a Christian theology of  diakonia  and traditional maritime cultures of Indonesia navigated by a Trinitarian pneumatology of creation, I proceed further to argue that the sea should also be perceived as  diakonos . These arguments constitute the concept of ‘blue  diakonia ’: a ministry that acknowledges and supports the sea as an active participant in the Trinitarian Spirit’s work by feeding the poor and giving life to all creatures.
