Januar Albert Silvester

I am an active fifth-semester student majoring in Marine Science at Universitas Maritim Raja Ali Haji, Indonesia. My academic interests focus on coastal ecology, mangrove conservation, and marine environmental management. I have practical experience in field-based coastal rehabilitation programs, including serving as the project leader in a mangrove planting initiative and participating in mangrove monitoring activities in Pengudang Village, Bintan. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to sustainable marine resource management and the preservation of coastal ecosystems. I am passionate about developing research and community-based approaches to support Indonesia’s blue economy and marine biodiversity conservation. I am interested in the field of ecology and coastal ecosystems, especially mangroves. After planting, we carried out activities to care for the coastal ecosystem by cleaning up rubbish near the coastal ecosystem of Pengudang Bintan village
