"I am very happy for Kehati actions. This cooperation proposal needs to be followed up soon," he said, Wednesday (4/11).

He asked Seribu Islands Regent, Irmansyah and Seribu Islands Vice Regent, Ismer Harahap to follow up marine ecotourism model strengthening and trash management with Kehati Foundation.

"I want Seribu Islands Regent and Vice Regent to submit routine report," he affirmed.

He also wants collaboration between sectors of Seribu Islands and North Jakarta Governments for mangrove management in Muara Angke.

"This is joint effort. I hope Jakarta Government and Kehati Foundation could make cooperation structure within 30-45 days ahead," he conveyed.

He added, his side also wants to realize other potential cooperation which is to campaign besek (woven bamboo basket) as styrofoam replacement to make it more environmentally friendly.

"We will coordinate it with Environment Dept. and Education Dept. thus it can be socialized in schools. Besides, I want OK OCE merchants to be involved in this program," he said.
