JAKARTA - The government acknowledges that the giant sea wall project or Giant Sea Wall is still in the planning stage. The schedule for construction has not been determined, the investment has not been decided, and the resource needs are still being calculated. Even so, the involvement of experts from the campus has begun to be prepared.
The statement was made by Deputy Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (Wamen KKP) Didit Herdiawan at the Presidential Palace Complex, Monday (20/4), after a limited meeting. According to Didit, the discussion of this project is still focused on deepening the construction aspect.
"It is still in the planning stage and we will further explore activities related to construction," said Didit.
He emphasized that until now there has been no new decision. Regarding the development target, the government has also not set a time. "It has not been determined, but at least it can be accelerated," he said.
Didit also said that investment for the project has not been decided. The government is still calculating the time of implementation because it is related to available resources. According to him, all potential in the country will be utilized, including the possibility of using elements related to waste to support environmental aspects.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Brian Yuliarto on the same day said the government began preparing for campus involvement in the project. Lecturers and researchers, said Brian, are not only asked to prepare studies, but will also be directly involved in the team.
Brian said next week his ministry would invite a number of professors who have experience in reclamation, land formation, and coastal management to meet with the Head of the Sea Dike Authority.
Didit ensured that the construction would be carried out in stages, with the Pantura area as the initial priority.
