A group of dolphins was seen swimming in the waters of Pramuka Island, Thousand Islands, some time ago. This rare moment was successfully immortalized by the crew of the Samtama 6 Garbage Ship in a video.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Environmental Agency, Asep Kuswanto, called the appearance of the dolphin herd good news. According to him, this is one of the indicators of improving environmental quality in Jakarta waters.

"The presence of dolphins shows positive indications that the quality of the water environment in the Thousand Islands is getting better," Asep told reporters, Friday, January 10.

Asep explained, dolphins have high sensitivity to the environment. These mammals tend to avoid polluted or uninhabitable waters. He also noted that the presence of dolphins is now increasingly common, even in water areas close to residential areas.

Some time ago, dolphins have often been seen in the waters close to Pramuka Island, an uninhabited island. In fact, previously they appeared in the high seas far from human activities," he explained.

Furthermore, Asep stated that the presence of this dolphin was inseparable from the various efforts made to improve the quality of the marine environment, such as waste management and cleaning up the waters around the Thousand Islands.

The steps that have been taken, such as marine waste management and water cleaning, are starting to show results. This is clear evidence of collective efforts to maintain marine ecosystems," added Asep.

He also hopes that this moment can serve as a reminder for the community of the importance of maintaining marine cleanliness for the sustainability of the ecosystem.

"We hope that the emergence of this dolphin can increase public awareness about the importance of keeping the sea clean. Collaboration of all parties is needed to ensure that the marine ecosystem remains sustainable and can be enjoyed by future generations," he concluded.
