Concrete and Mangrove Combined to Prevent Abrasion in Sayung Demak

According to Andis, mangroves are also expected to help capture and retain sediment. This process can support the long-term re-formation of eroded coastal land.

With this combination, coastal protection is expected to run simultaneously with the restoration of the mangrove ecosystem.

Handling Designed for 10 Kilometers

In 2026, new development will reach Surodadi Village. Meanwhile, Andis said the overall area management design reaches around 10 kilometers.

Implementation will be carried out in stages, adjusting to budget proposals and realization.

"The hope is that it can be built as a whole, so that it becomes a solution to abrasion here," he said.

Village Head Surodadi Supriyanto welcomed the development. The village government together with the community supports the work, including helping with the smooth distribution of materials to the location.

However, he hopes that development will continue. According to him, the area that needs protection in his village area is around two kilometers, so the 930 meter long project does not cover all needs.

"We really appreciate and fully support this activity. We hope that the construction of the hybrid sea wall will continue, because it really helps reduce abrasion, at least so that we can continue to survive as well as before," said Supriyanto.
