Giant sandbags that are being used as embankments to prevent erosion are being damaged after being hit by waves in Cemarajaya Village, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, on January 26, 2024. Village residents are saying that the rate of erosion due to waves and rising sea levels in Cemarajaya Village is increasing, reaching an average of 5 meters each year. Since 1998, tidal waves and rising sea levels, along with tidal floods, have been starting to hit the village, following the conversion of plantation land into fish and shrimp ponds. Now, the residents' plantations have disappeared, and their houses have sunk. The village, which was originally about 1 kilometer from the coastline, is now at the front line of being hit by the waves and is still experiencing erosion that threatens its existence.
