Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) has taken a proactive approach to aquatic stewardship, developing and supporting initiatives that promote sustainable waterway management and conservation practices. In partnership with the World University Association for Community Development and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, UNAIR led a community service program in Kampong Sungai Melayu, Johor, focused on developing sustainable ecotourism. The program, which included 21 UNAIR experts, empowered local residents to enhance Sungai Melayu’s ecotourism potential while preserving its aquatic ecosystem. This collaboration has laid the foundation for sustainable tourism practices that protect local biodiversity and support the community’s economy.

KIm Kim Malaysia

In response to a severe pollution incident at the Kim-Kim River, where illegal chemical dumping had affected around 5,000 people, UNAIR students organized a river cleanup. Utilizing mud bowls to reduce chemical contamination, students worked to restore the river’s health, demonstrating practical solutions for pollution management that align with good stewardship practices.

Coral planting

In another effort to promote marine conservation, UNAIR’s School of Health and Natural Sciences hosted a conservation expedition in Alas Purwo, Banyuwangi, with 63 international students participating. The expedition included coral planting at Bangsring Beach and explorations of marine life at Tabuhan Island, equipping students with skills in coral restoration and raising awareness about marine biodiversity.

Through these initiatives, Universitas Airlangga fosters a culture of responsible aquatic stewardship by combining education, community service, and conservation. UNAIR’s commitment to sustainable aquatic practices not only strengthens local ecosystems but also inspires global action for the protection of water resources.
