World Oceans Day In Indonesia
Plastic and Styrofoam litter the shore in the North of Indonesia capital Jakarta on 8 June 2021. As people around the world mark World Oceans Day today, somewhere in the north of Indonesia's capital Jakarta, fishers continue to work in one of the country’s largest fishing areas. They work and live in areas contaminated with garbage and hazardous waste from shipwrecks. Much is at stake for Indonesia to assert its global role in sustaining the oceans. With over 60 percent of Indonesia’s territory covered by water, fisheries are a vital livelihood in the country, employing 12 million people with small scale fisheries making up approximately 95 percent of the fishing sector.
