SDG 14: Life Below Water
Technologies towards aquatic ecosystem damage prevention (direct work)
A research team from Diponegoro University (UNDIP) is implementing mangrove ecosystem rehabilitation technology in the area surrounding the Indonesian capital city, East Kalimantan.
This activity includes clearing damaged land, creating mangrove planting areas, and filling in local sediment using wood and bamboo as retaining structures. The goal is to strengthen the mangrove ecosystem’s function as a coastline protector and carbon sink.
This program supports the development of an environmentally friendly Indonesian capital city, mitigates coastal ecosystem damage, and optimizes mangrove ecosystem services. This initiative also strengthens UNDIP’s research and community service efforts in restoring tropical and coastal areas, in line with sustainable development goals.
