FPIK UNDIP Professor Predicts that Semarang Will Sink in 50 Years from Now

FPIK UNDIP Professor Predicts that Semarang Will Sink in 50 Years from Now

by | Aug 4, 2021 | News

FPIK, SEMARANG – The coastal area of Semarang City, Central Java Province and its surroundings is predicted to sink in about 50 years. Professor of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science, Diponegoro University (FPIK UNDIP) Prof. Dr. Denny Nugroho Sugianto, ST., M.Si revealed that the prediction was strengthened by the rain that triggered the flood in Semarang City early last year.

“So it could be faster than 50 years. The flooding is now in the North Semarang area, in Tugu it has also started to get worse, the border with Demak as well,” said Prof. Denny who is also a senior researcher at the Center for Disaster Mitigation and Coastal Rehabilitation Studies (PKMBRP) UNDIP, when contacted by detikcom, Wednesday (4/8/2021). “The severity is seen when the rains at the beginning of the year flooded the Unissula campus, it proves that the drainage can no longer throw water into the sea by gravity because the soil is lower than sea water,” he continued.

Prof. Denny stated that the cause of the sinking of the northern part of Semarang City was due to land subsidence due to massive groundwater exploitation. In addition, land subsidence in Semarang varies with an average of 10-12 centimeters per year. “Soil subsidence varies, there are 2 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, up to an average of 10-12 cm per year. Excessive use of groundwater causes the soil to fall quickly. In addition, the nature of sedimentation on the Semarang coast is alluvial sedimentation. Have you heard of it before? Semarang until the Sam Po Kong area is water? Well, it’s like going back,” he explained.

He added that global warming also had an impact on rising sea levels. He also hopes that the government will be firm in spatial planning based on rob mitigation. “Spatial planning must be based on tidal mitigation. Water pocket areas are no longer allowed to be developed either commercially or residentially,” explained the lecturer at the Oceanography Department, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science UNDIP.

Not only that, Prof. Denny hopes that the Semarang-Demak Toll Road project which is designed as a dike can be realized according to the technical design. So it is hoped that it can be a solution for tidal flooding in Semarang and Demak. “Semarang-Demak toll road is for roads, for the use of the embankment must be very careful, hopefully it can solve the problem,” he said. Meanwhile, the Governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo said that there had been a study on the sinking of the three regions (Pekalongan – Semarang – Demak). According to him, the thing that must be done is together to protect the environment. Meanwhile, the government must be disciplined in granting land use permits according to its function.

“It will sink if everyone doesn’t take care of the environment, so spatial planning must be controlled, planting is carried out. So if we want to use the space, we must be really disciplined,” said the number one person in Central Java. (Adm | Source: detik.com)

Ranny Ramadhani, Alumni of Marine Science FPIK UNDIP Recognized by DIVE Magazine as Women in Conservation

Ranny Ramadhani, Alumni of Marine Science FPIK UNDIP Recognized by DIVE Magazine as Women in Conservation

by | Jul 18, 2021 | Achievement, News

FPIK, SEMARANG – For Ranny Ramadhani Yuneni, having a desire to participate in preserving the marine world was felt since he studied at Diponegoro University (UNDIP) in 2009. When she was a student of the Marine Science Study Program, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) UNDIP, Ranny felt that his choice was right and he really fell in love with the ocean. Therefore, after graduating, the woman who was born in Cilacap on March 20, 1991, chose to be totally active in the marine sector. Since 2013, she has chosen to work for WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) Indonesia. “Currently I am a member of WWF Indonesia in the Marine and Fisheries Program in Indonesia, specifically coordinating Shark and Ray Conservation Specialists,” said Ranny in an interview, Thursday (15/7/2021).

Ranny, who is currently completing her Masters Study Program (S2) in Postgraduate Environmental Science at Udayana University Bali, admitted that she worked on marine species issues, especially Marine Megafauna such as Sharks and Rays. Having spent more than nine years in conservation and marine activities, this alumni of SMA N 2 Tangerang admitted that her determination to enter this field was stronger after joining the Marine Diving Club (MDC) as a member of class XVII since 2010.

“After that, I explored diving in many waters inside and outside Indonesia with at least >450 logs dives with Advance OW PADI level. In starting my career, I was placed in a quite remote area in Raja Ampat Papua to educate children about the importance of loving and caring for coral reefs and sharks in the ocean,” she said of his experience. For her love and consistency in caring for species in the sea, when he was 20 years old, Ranny was named a Manta Ambassador to support the periodic research of Manta Rays in the Komodo Islands, East Nusa Tenggara in 2013. Since then he has been increasingly consistent in supporting the government in managing Sharks and Rays sustainably.

She also continues to innovate in the development of marine species bycatch mitigation technology with the aim of increasing the survival rate of these species caught by catch. In addition, she also supports several researches on the carrying capacity of diving tourism in marine protected areas and actively plays a role in the campaign to reduce shark consumption at WWF Indonesia, known as the #SOSharks Campaign.

“As an alumnus of UNDIP, I am very proud. I got a lot of marine knowledge on campus which is very helpful in the activities that I do now. For me, the meaning of success is being able to share knowledge as widely as possible and being able to play a role in “mainstreaming” marine species, especially sharks and rays in Indonesia,” explained the female alumni of SMP N 1 Tangerang.

Her involvement in research or research on the marine world is now also getting more intense. In the Shark-Stingray conservation program involving more than 60 students, for example, the scope of activities has spread from the western to the eastern parts of Indonesia. No wonder her name is listed in various publications such as theses, theses and journals at 22 universities in Indonesia; also its contribution in providing marine data nationally. Ranny also continues to actively initiate the implementation of the Indonesian Shark-Stingray which will be held from 2015 to 2021. In this forum, more than 350 national and regional researches have been presented, ranging from biology-ecology, socio-economics, and conservation-management. Ranny is also active in the Threatened Species Working Group (TSWG) CTI-CFF which covers six (6) countries in the world’s coral reef triangle area.

During her career, the woman who has become a member of the Shark Specialist Group (SSG) Asia (previously only Southeast Asia) International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2016 was recognized as Women in Conservation in DIVE Magazine United Kingdom, and from WWF- Singapore in the issue of saving species, especially the Manta Ray (manta rescue issue) and other marine species. “I am very happy, this is a great award in my career. It is not easy to get an award that was initiated from abroad,” said Ranny, who has also had an internship at Species Endaged, Thretened and Protected (ETP) East Java, Maluku to Dobo – Aru Islands.

Suggestions for UNDIP students in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Ranny said, so that students often open the Linkedin page, continue to expand networks/networking from all lines, be it government, academics, NGOs/NGOs, and the private sector. “In addition, don’t forget that FPIK UNDIP alumni are also scattered everywhere, so asking or communicating with alumni is also very helpful for current students to provide insight. Cheer up!” she concluded. (Source: undip.ac.id | Tim Humas UNDIP)
