Indonesia Advances Giant Sea Wall Project with Comprehensive Survey

Hydro-Oceanographic Survey Conducted

The Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP), in collaboration with the Indonesian Navy's Hydro-Oceanographic Center, has completed a thorough hydro-oceanographic survey in Jakarta Bay and Semarang waters. This initiative is a critical step in the planning and design phase of the Giant Sea Wall project along the northern coast of Java.

Addressing Coastal Challenges

The survey's findings will be instrumental in addressing the complex challenges faced by coastal regions in Indonesia, including climate change, rising sea levels, and rapid land subsidence. According to Kartika Listriana, Director General of Marine Spatial Planning, these challenges necessitate a comprehensive approach to coastal development.

Utilization of Survey Results

The results of the hydro-oceanographic survey will be utilized by the North Java Coastal Authority to inform the design and implementation of the Giant Sea Wall project. Additionally, the KKP will leverage these findings to enhance coastal area management and development, ensuring a more resilient and sustainable future for Indonesia's coastal communities.
