Located on the southern coast of West Java, Indonesia, facing the magnificent Indian Ocean, Pangandaran is a coastal town blessed with scenic landscapes and abundant fisheries potential. However, the city struggled to maintain its economic resources due to environmental degradation and its vulnerability to natural disasters, such as tsunamis and abrasion. These issues led me to join a community service project in Pangandaran organized by the student association in my department during my undergraduate studies at Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Indonesia. This project also collaborated with the Department of Oceanography ITB and local government.
