Abstract

Jakarta Bay and coastal areas have key roles as Java’s main port, industrial, residential, and tourism spots. The areas also have a long history for traditional fishers. There are about 40.000 fishers who reside along the coastal sub-districts of north Jakarta (the number has been decreased for almost half from 2006 to 2010 according to Bureau of Statistic) who utilize the bay as their fishing and mariculture areas. This fishery-dependent community includes some of the poorest people of Jakarta and they are being exposed and vulnerable to both natural and humaninduced hazards such as pollutions, floods from storm surge, sea level rise, and land subsidence (Firman et. al., 2011).
