Abrasion And Rising Sea Level Threatening The North Coast Of West Java
Carmat, 83, is posing for a photo near his house, which was 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, tidal waves and rising sea levels, accompanied by tidal floods, have been starting to hit the village, after plantation land was converted into fish and shrimp ponds. Now, the residents' plantations have disappeared, and their 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 the existence of the village.
