SDG 14: Life Below Water

Reducing marine pollution (policy)

Universitas Diponegoro has issued Circular Letter No. 28 of 2024, emphasizing the importance of preventing and reducing marine pollution, especially from land-based activities. This policy highlights coordination among university units to minimize land-origin waste entering marine ecosystems, such as plastics, industrial residues, and chemical runoff. To implement the regulation, the university promotes an integrated waste management system, academic community education, and regular monitoring of coastal water quality near the campus area. Through this initiative, Diponegoro University actively contributes to reducing marine pollution and supporting the conservation of coastal and marine ecosystems.
