Abrasion And Rising Sea Level Threatening The North Coast Of West Java
Children are playing on the village street right on the beach in Cemarajaya Village, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, on January 26, 2024. Village residents say 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, tidal waves and rising sea levels, along with tidal floods, have been hitting the village, especially after plantation land was converted into fish and shrimp ponds. Now, the residents' plantations have disappeared, and the houses have sunk. The village, which was originally about 1 kilometer from the coastline, is now at the front line of being hit by the waves and is still experiencing abrasion, which threatens its existence.
