The 575-kilometre coastal defence scheme aims to protect the Pantura coast from land subsidence and sea-level rise, while safeguarding food security, industry zones and coastal communities. The project is divided into 15 segments and will involve cross-regional planning with local governments.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta \u2013 The Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional\nDevelopment (Menko IPK), Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY), said the\ngovernment continues to oversee the Giant Sea Wall project. \u201cI have\nconveyed and reported to the President that we are still overseeing this\nproject in 2026, and hopefully by 2027 its implementation will be more\nmature,\u201d AHY said in a statement in Jakarta on Friday. He described the\nGiant Sea Wall programme as part of protecting the North Java coast from\nland subsidence and rising sea levels. He added that the government is\nrefining the road map and coordinating across regions so the strategic\nproject can be realised soon. For background, AHY said the Giant Sea\nWall Pantura is a key national strategic priority under President\nPrabowo Subianto. The 575-kilometre project is designed not only for\ncoastal protection but also for food security, the industrial area, and\nthe safety of millions of coastal residents. The North Java Coast\nAuthority (BOPPJ) stated that the Giant Sea Wall along Pantura Java is\ndivided into 15 segments. BOPPJ head Didit Herdiawan Ashaf said the\nagency is conducting outlining and infrastructure grounding activities\nto run in tandem, with eventual implementation in collaboration with\nlocal government from district to provincial level. Of course, building\nthe Giant Sea Wall on Pantura Java is not just to protect factories and\noffices, but there are lives and ecosystems there, and the most numerous\necosystem is that of the fishermen.<\/p>",
