Kulon Progo – Severe coastal erosion over the past few years has worsened conditions at Trisik Beach, Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta. In addition to affecting local communities, erosion threatens the sustainability of coastal ecosystems and the tourism sector.

In response to this issue, on Sunday (February 16), ShARE UGM, Geoforce Indonesia, POKDARWIS (Kelompok Sadar Wisata) Banaran, and KATSGAMA (Gadjah Mada Civil Engineering Alumni Association) initiated a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program to mitigate erosion at Trisik Beach. The program employs two primary methods: mangrove planting and the installation of GI-Bags as mitigation measures.

Mangrove planting serves as a natural solution to combat erosion, strengthen coastal soil structures, and enhance marine biodiversity. Mangroves play a crucial role in absorbing wave energy and creating habitats for various marine species that contribute to ecosystem balance.

Meanwhile, the installation of GI-Bags offers a technical solution by using geotextile bags filled with sand as a physical barrier to reduce the impact of waves on the shoreline. This technology aims to reinforce the coastline and minimize the rate of erosion caused by continuous wave action.

Through this initiative, ShARE UGM, Geoforce Indonesia, POKDARWIS (Kelompok Sadar Wisata) Banaran, and KATSGAMA (Gadjah Mada Civil Engineering Alumni Association) collaborate with the local community to develop sustainable solutions for preserving Trisik Beach against erosion and the effects of climate change. This CSR program also highlights the importance of synergy between academia, corporations, and communities in protecting coastal environments for future generations.
