Central Java Governor Ahmad Luthfi requested the handling of the Jangkrik Kandang embankment at Kramatsari Beach, Blendung Village, Ulujami District, Pemalang Regency which collapsed due to eroded coastal abrasion to be accelerated.
"At the main, the community should not be affected, in the short term we must immediately finish this one, about one kilometer," he said while reviewing the Kandang Jangkrik embankment, Pemalang, Wednesday, May 28.
Kramatsari Pemalang Beach, which had become the prima donna for tourism in its time, is now in an alarming condition because it was hit by abrasion.
In fact, this condition also claimed the livelihoods of some local residents who had been relying on sustenance from the tourism sector.
In addition, prevention efforts must also be boosted, one of which is promoting mangrove planting along the coast of Pantura, Central Java.
He asked all relevant stakeholders, including regents, mayors, police chiefs, Dandim, the community, and environmental drivers to plant mangroves.
For medium-term handling, he said, data collection will be carried out on people in areas affected by the tidal wave, then analyzes the pond, rice fields, and so on.
"In the long term, we already have an example of Sayung. In 2025-2027 the sea embankment has started to run and the retention pond. We will analyze this later regarding the sea wall, we will pull it from Sayung to Brebes," he said.
Meanwhile, Harini, a resident of Blendung Village, Ulujami District, Pemalang, said that the 2017-2018 mid-2018 was the heyday of Kramatsari Beach.
With so many people making the beach a tourist destination, it automatically controls the economy of local residents.
"In fact, a day and a night, on weekends I got Rp. 6 million. At that time the price of ice tea was still Rp. 1,000," he said.
However, since 2019, everything has changed after abrasion swallowed the shoreline about 50 meters which resulted in 33 stalls sinking, roads and power poles sinking, damaged tourist rides, and road access being flooded by tidal waves.

Residents have tried to overcome the damaged environmental conditions in 2024, they are self-helping to build embankments on the shoreline with bamboo.
The Head of the Pemalang BPBD Daily, Andriadi, said that the bamboo embankments installed were divided into two, namely some bamboo arranged and locked, while others made embankments in the form of cricket cages.
"It's called a cricket cage because it looks like a cricket cage. This is an example in Demak. I was optimistic but this was damaged by the waves in 2025, so there were new estuaries," he said.
