JAKARTA - The Head of the Thousand Islands Police, AKBP Argadija, invites the people of the islands and tourists who visit to maintain the cleanliness of the environment and tourist destinations in the area so that no garbage is found.

"Maintaining cleanliness is not only the task of the police or sanitation workers, but a shared responsibility," said Argadija in Jakarta, Friday, December 26, 2025, as reported by Antara.

He also appealed to the public, business actors, and tourists not to throw away garbage indiscriminately and make cleanliness a common culture.

"All parties have an important role in taking care of the coastal environment," said Argadija.

Maintaining cleanliness, he said, is also part of Jaga Jakarta because the Thousand Islands Regency is a tourist destination that must maintain its comfort.

"Coastal areas must be maintained and maintained. All parties are responsible for that," said Argadija.

Furthermore, he said the Kepulauan Seribu Police had joined hands with the community to hold a clean-up action in the coastal area of Sakura Beach, Untung Jawa Island, in welcoming the Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 holidays.

The focus of the activity is to ensure that tourist areas are clean, comfortable, and attractive for tourists who are starting to arrive during the holiday season at the end of the year.

He explained that the beach cleaning action was carried out by collecting plastic waste, beverage bottles, tree branches, and other light waste scattered along the coastline.

The collected garbage is then transported to the Final Disposal Site (TPA) with the support of regional sanitation officers.

Argadija said that the activity was a form of mutual concern in maintaining the image of tourism in the Thousand Islands.

In addition, his party also wants to ensure that tourists who attend can feel the atmosphere of a clean and well-maintained beach.

"This is part of our service and commitment to supporting public comfort," said Argadija.

According to him, this action is also part of the region's readiness after the series of Christmas celebrations, before entering the peak of New Year's tourist visits.

"It is hoped that a clean coastal environment will increase the appeal of Untung Jawa Island, Thousand Islands," said Argadija.
