Lampung Plants 25,000 Mangroves in Pesawaran, Targets 100,000 Seedlings

Lampung has a coastline of more than 1,000 kilometers

Jihan said Lampung has great marine and coastal potential. Based on data from the Lampung Province Maritime and Fisheries Service, this area has waters covering an area of ​​around 24,820 square kilometers.

Lampung also has a coastal area of almost 450,000 hectares, a coastline of more than 1,000 kilometers, and 132 small islands.

According to Jihan, this enormous potential must be followed by management that maintains the sustainability of marine and coastal ecosystems.

"When we talk about the future of Lampung, we must not only look at what is on land," he said.

"We have to see how the sea is not only exploited for its contents, but we also need to think about how it is sustainable," continued Jihan.

He emphasized that environmental preservation is not only the government's responsibility. Communities and business actors who utilize natural resources also have an obligation to maintain their sustainability.
