Saving Java’s coastal communities
The northern coast of Java island, Indonesia is under threat due to land subsidence, coastal abrasion and rising sea levels.
In some areas, land has receded by more than 2km over the last 20 years, displacing thousands of people and causing millions of dollars in lost farmlands and residential areas.
The government has proposed building a 700km seawall, but is it enough to save the coastal communities?
