🏢 About the local organisation
Mangrove for Java is a project targeting all endangers villages or area located in coastal cities
and regencies in Java Island. This project is a sustainable project organized by GREAT in cooperation with
local fisher and farmer communities in each city/village to answering the needs of preserving the coastal
side of Java Island.
Java coastal area is one of the directed affected by global climate change among many of islands in the world. The project is preserving natural diversity and sea shore from the erosion because of no more mangrove and too strong waves from the ocean will be the main focus of the project. This project implemented by collaboration between GREAT Indonesia and local communities in the four cities. More than 1000 km coastal line in Java Island is in danger of erosion. At least 20 km of costal line in Mangrove for Java in these four cities area is now in danger due to the erosion of the sea, cutting mangrove by local people and heavy force from the river flows. Before, many kinds of fish and shrimps are living there. Now since the condition of the mangrove forest is getting worse, it is quite difficult to find the species anymore. Fisherman also needs to go further to the ocean to fish and it means much work they need to do to earn money.
