Summary

In Cisolok, West Java, around 1,600 lobster larvae were released into the sea by local fishermen to help protect marine ecosystems.

Local fishermen strongly support this initiative, hoping it will lead to a resurgence of lobster populations in the area, which have been increasingly hard to find due to overfishing. This effort, supported by the government, aims to ensure the future of lobster fishing in Pelabuhan Ratu.
