Subehana Rachman — 2026-09-10

This community engagement activity aims to enhance coastal communities' awareness and capacity to preserve the maritime environment as a foundation for sustainable economic development. Clean, protected, and productive waters have been shown to directly support the long-term viability of fisheries, marine tourism, and small-scale maritime transportation. Through a series of outreach and training activities, the program delivered practical education on the impacts of marine pollution, particularly waste disposal from vessels, and introduced strategies for coastal ecosystem restoration. Evaluation findings indicate a significant improvement in community understanding of the interdependence between marine ecology and economic welfare. Key challenges identified include limited waste management infrastructure in port and coastal areas, low levels of ecological literacy, and weak enforcement of environmental regulations. This initiative is expected to act as a catalyst for strengthening coastal economies through a conservation-based approach to maritime resources.

Port activities, including cargo handling, ship maintenance, and supporting industrial operations, have the potential to generate hazardous and toxic waste (HTW) that can pollute the environment and endanger workers' health. This article discusses the management strategies of HTW in port areas, focusing on efforts to prevent environmental pollution and protect worker safety. Through literature review and regulatory analysis, the study examines the processes of identifying, storing, transporting, and disposing of HTW in compliance with safety and environmental standards. The findings indicate that effective waste management relies heavily on regulatory compliance, availability of waste treatment facilities, and proper safety training for workers. The study concludes that collaboration among port authorities, private companies, and government agencies is essential to develop an integrated waste management system that ensures environmentally friendly and safe port operations.
