Abrasion And Rising Sea Level Threatening The North Coast Of West Java
An abandoned restaurant building is being destroyed by high waves in Cemarajaya Village, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, on January 26, 2024. Village residents are saying that the rate of abrasion due to waves and rising sea levels in Cemarajaya Village is increasing, reaching an average of 5 meters each year. Since 1998, they have been experiencing tidal waves and rising sea levels accompanied by tidal floods, which began after plantation land was converted into fish and shrimp ponds. Now, their plantations have disappeared, and their houses have sunk. The village, which used to be about 1 kilometer from the coastline, is now at the front line of being hit by the waves and is still undergoing abrasion, threatening its existence.
