Meanwhile, for more than 35 years, the International Coastal Cleanup® (ICC) has galvanized
communities worldwide to collect trash that pollutes waterways, making coasts cleaner and our
ocean healthier.

The UI students collected garbage along Pademangan beach, next to Ancol area, North Jakarta.Some
80 percent of the garbage on the coast of North Jakarta come from land and the remaining 20 percent
is waste from fish farming such as nets.

Garbage washes into Jakarta Bay can reach around 8.3 tons every day . The garbage in Jakarta Bay
later ends up on the beaches in North Jakarta. The collected garbage were later transported by the
Jakarta Environmental Service to a landfill.
