Abstract

The rapid development of Indonesia over the past 20 years and also its increasing negative impact on the environment are by far best to be seen at the metropolitan area and the corresponding coastal ecosystems of Jakarta. All the information and facts reported in this chapter regarding the environmental state of Jakarta Bay demonstrate impressively the huge anthropogenically induced pressure and stress this ecosystem is exposed to. Additionally, an intact ecosystem is a basic precondition for many aspects directly impacting human beings around the Bay covering, e.g., seafood health, drinking water accessibility, or recreation needs. Noteworthy, the investigations reported here do not remain on the description of the environmental status but explored also the relevant processes behind inducing the pollution problems and, consequently, point to potential solutions.
