The Sinking North Coastal Java

A fisherman navigates his boat near a residential house partially submerged by seawater in Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia, on June 25, 2026. Rapid land subsidence, combined with rising sea levels, affects the northern coast of Java. Sinking rates reach 10-15 cm annually in cities like Pekalongan, Semarang, and Demak, displacing dozens of communities as their homes become uninhabitable due to chronic flooding.
