| Summary: | Papua Island is one of the islands in Indonesia with territorial boundaries in the north
bordering the Philippine Sea, in the east bordering the Pacific Ocean, in the west
bordering the Arafura Sea and Banda Sea, then in the south bordering the Arafura Sea.
Its geographical conditions cause the interaction between the sea and the coast to be
intense. Observations on the level of vulnerability of coastal districts located on Papua
Island were carried out using the Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) method to
determine how vulnerable Papua Island is due to the interaction between the sea and
its coast. The Coastal Vulnerability Index method is reviewed from physical
parameters in the form of coastal slope, wave height, coastal geomorphology, tidal
range, sea level rise, and erosion and accretion rates. The length of the coastline in each
district/city in sequence is Mamberamo Raya 286,309 km (3.77%), Sarmi Regency
10,622 km (0.14%), Jayapura City 22,714 km (0.3%), and Merauke 191,361 km
(2.52%). |
