SDG 15: Life On Land
Collaboration for shared land ecosystems
In April 2025, the SDGs Center of LPPM Universitas Diponegoro collaborated with PT PLN (Persero) and PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) in an integrated program to maintain ecosystems and empower communities on the north coast of Central Java. This program focuses on increasing food security, restoring marine and coastal ecosystems, and strengthening the local economy in three coastal villages in Demak Regency: Morodemak, Purworejo, and Margolinduk. Activities include providing GPS-based fishing technology (fish finders) to increase fishermen’s catches, training in processing waste and fishery products to add economic value, and building artificial coral reef structures and fish apartments from environmentally friendly materials to restore marine habitats. This collaboration reflects UNDIP’s commitment to establishing cooperation between academia, industry, and government to realize sustainable, inclusive, and community-based coastal development.
