JAKARTA - The Department of Environment (DLH) of the University of Indonesia Student Executive Board initiated a movement to collect garbage on the coast of the North Jakarta area, as an act of love for Indonesian maritime countries.
The staff of the Department of Environment of the BEM UI 2022 as well as the chief executive of AMPERA Ghazi Ahmad's activities in North Jakarta, quoting Antara, Sunday, September 18, said that protecting the coastal ecosystem is important to do.
Because beaches are areas with dynamic characters due to the diversity of ecosystems that live in them. Various productivitys between the biotic and abiotic components that occur make the two affect each other.
Ghazi said 80 percent of the garbage on the coast of North Jakarta emerged due to land pollution, namely shipping waste that was blocked from rivers, sewers, or storms. The remaining 20 percent are waste from fishing like nets.
The garbage that flows into Jakarta Bay every day can reach about 8.3 tons. The garbage in Jakarta Bay then boils to the beaches in North Jakarta.
To respond to this phenomenon, the beach cleaning activities from garbage were initiated by the UI BEM DLH in the North Jakarta coastal area, to be precise on the coast next to the Ancol area, Pademangan.
The form of activity carried out is to collect garbage around the coast using sacks which are then weighed and transported by the DKI Jakarta Environmental Service.
In addition, AMPERA's activities are under the umbrella of Environmental Action carried out by the BEM alliance which follows the 2022 National Environmental Forum with the hashtag #Decreating Likungan from Sampah and #MahasiStudentPeduliLingungan hashtags.
The Coastal Cleaning Action (Ampera) with the theme 'Lestari Pantai, Lestari Kehidupan' in order to welcome the National Clean-Bersih Day centered in Jakarta on September 18, took place openly and was attended by the UI Student Family Association (IKM).
Thank you to IKM UI for being involved in the coastal cleaning action in the North Jakarta area. Great appreciation for the catalyst for guarding the coastal ecosystem. Hopefully in the future our enthusiasm will still be high to preserve the environment wherever it is," said Ghazi.
Ghazi hopes that through this activity, AMPERA can continue to be present to celebrate and make a real contribution to cleaning up garbage in Indonesia.
