45.6 Tons of Garbage Lifted from Kalimati Muncar, Estuary Still Blocked by Shipwrecks

According to Bayu, the installation is intended to help monitor whether residents are still throwing rubbish into the river. The barrier is also intended to prevent rubbish from the estuary area from entering the river flow.

The Banyuwangi Regency Government's statement does not yet contain monitoring results after installation of the equipment. Therefore, its effectiveness in containing waste or assisting monitoring cannot yet be assessed from the available information.

The removal of 45.6 tons of rubbish was a four-day cleaning achievement. Meanwhile, smooth flow in the estuary is still ongoing work, along with sediment handling and preparations for transporting shipwrecks.
