摘要

Marine debris is a problem that requires a global solution. This is particularly important for Indonesia, the world's second-largest producer of marine debris after China. Two-thirds of Indonesia's territory is oceans, and fish is Indonesia's main protein; as such, marine debris threatens the nation's food security even as it damages coral, disrupts transportation, and indirectly harms Indonesia's tourism industry. Affected first and foremost by marine debris are fishermen and other people who live near water. Indonesia can learn much from Taiwan, which has successfully used technology to stop the illegal sale of the subsidized oil of fishing boats in the middle of the ocean, thereby enabling it to save money. This work proposes a digital platform to connect communities that live near water, including fishermen, with stakeholders including government offices, social institutions, environmental organizations, and waste processing companies to reduce waste at sea. Such a concept can also help empower its community participants, who are generally in a more precarious economic situation. In this concept, fishermen and other community members collect waste in the waters around their homes, sort it, and then use a digital application to call for collection. Stakeholders check the community communities' reports, then ask waste pickers or collectors to fetch the waste, which stakeholders exchange for health care, food vouchers, schoolbooks, or money.
