About this site

This information has been automatically translated.

Karawang is one of the districts in West Java Province. Apart from the rice fields which are synonymous with the city's nickname, it turns out that the northern part of Karawang borders directly on the Java Sea. In West Java itself, Karawang is the area that has the longest coastline of approximately 84 km. Apart from that, the coastal area in Karawang holds millions of natural beauties, from the charm of the open sea to mangrove forests which have great potential to be used as marine tourism. One of the hamlets on the coast of Karawang is Tangkolak Hamlet, located in Sukakerta village, Cilamaya Wetan District. The majority of residents there work as fishermen. From Tangkolak's geographic location which is close to the sea, it turns out that tidal floods (tidal waters) often hit the area. As a result, the beauty of Tangkolak suddenly disappeared. This is because many mangrove trees were damaged and even the tidal water entered local residents' settlements. Now, the condition of the mangrove forests in Tangkolak is becoming increasingly worrying. For this reason, action and development is needed to make Tangkolak Beautiful again. Until 2021, LindungiHutan has planted 1600 trees in a 4 ha area and absorbed 1.9 tons of CO2 ekv.
