Dream - The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) actively campaigns for the waste downstreaming program as one of the efforts to maintain the condition of the sea and its coastlines, as well as to educate and raise public awareness about pollution.

The effort is carried out through the National Marine Conservation Area (LKKPN) Pekanbaru, Directorate General of Marine and Coastal Management (Ditjen PKRL). This program starts with a waste reduction campaign themed "Waste Downstreaming, Boosting Blue Economy" at Tiram Beach, Nagari Tapakis, Ulakan Tapakis District, Padang Pariaman Regency.

Director General of Marine and Coastal Management of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Victor Gustaaf Manoppo, conveyed that the waste reduction campaign is part of the Month of Love for the Sea as well as a form of the ministry's commitment to implementing Presidential Regulation Number 83 of 2018 concerning Marine Waste Management. In this regulation, the Indonesian Government continues to strive to reduce waste by 30 percent through the 3R (Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle) and reduce plastic waste entering the sea by 70 percent by 2025.

"The KKP campaign continues to be a form of commitment in reducing marine waste and serves as an effective educational tool to increase public awareness and participation in controlling pollution that occurs on the coast and in the sea."

The recycled waste and collected residue reached a weight of 170 kilograms, predominantly consisting of plastic packaging."

KKP also provides assistance in the form of trash cans to the Community Conservation Group (KOMPAK) Raja Samudera, which has been actively collaborating in handling tourism waste along with traders at Tiram Beach. Not only KKP, PT. Pertamina Patra Niaga Regional Sumbagut DPPU Minangkabau, as a partner of LKKPN Pekanbaru, handed over 750 mangrove stems to preserve the mangrove ecosystem on the coast.

Head of LKKPN Pekanbaru, Rahmat Irfansyah, stated that waste cleaning is one of the policies in KKP's priority agenda. They involve KOMPAK to handle plastic waste that has leaked into the Pieh Island Conservation Area.

"“The waste that has been collected and sorted will be transported to the garbage bank so that waste is not just solid waste that is no longer useful but becomes a valuable rupiah product that can become an alternative livelihood for the community,” explained Irfan. He hopes that this campaign can educate the wider community about the dangers of waste, wise waste management, and love for the sea so that there is no waste, the sea is healthy, and Indonesia is prosperous."

Meanwhile, Gilplas Sumbar Founder Alvin Zamzani explained that plastic waste is one of the economically valuable export commodities after going through a processing process that produces recycled products.

"“Certainly, we hope that this waste reduction campaign can increase the knowledge and awareness of the community regarding economically valuable plastic waste, thus helping to directly handle waste from its source and prevent plastic waste from leaking into the sea,” Alvin concluded. In addition to involving fishermen, traders, and other government agencies, the waste reduction campaign also involves KOMPAK under the guidance of LKKPN Pekanbaru, conservation partners of LKKPN Pekanbaru, and community groups in the local area."
