The Tangerang Initiative also covers the handling of densely populated, slum, and poor areas

Jakarta Tangerang Head Ahmed Zaki Iskandar expects the Tangerang Initiative to guide Partnership in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) Network of Local Governments (PNLG) members to develop coastal and marine areas.

The document born from the PNLG forum, with Tangerang District as the host, is a commitment that will be implemented by the coastal regional governments as members of PEMSEA, according to a release posted by PNLG on its official website.

“Points of the Tangerang Initiative have been agreed upon, and hopefully, this would become a standard for all PNLG members, who attend in person or online,” Iskandar stated during a press conference at the Ketapang Urban Aquaculture, Mauk, Tangerang District, Friday.
