By Willy KurniawanSolikah, an Indonesian housewife living in the fishing village of Teluk, was in tears as she pointed to piles of trash strewn on a beach close to her home of 40 years.Teluk, in the Indonesian province of Banten on the western edge of Java island, has one of the country\u2019s dirtiest beaches as villagers said that heavy rain has led to stronger tides, bringing more trash to shore.\u201cYou can\u2019t predict the weather,\u201d 58-year-old Solikah said.Indonesia is\u00a0expecting\u00a0a milder dry season this year, its meteorological agency said, starting later than usual in May and June for Java.Fikri Jufri, who leads a community focus on cleaning beaches in Teluk, said the rain had led to the pile-up of trash.\u201cEvery year, the rain and wind carries trash from the sea to the shore,\u201d he said,\u00a0adding mountains of plastic waste have for years made their way to the sea through rivers, but the tides bring them back ashore.Biscuit and toothbrush cases, instant noodle packages or even sandals are regularly strewn on the beach, where villagers live on the shore.Indonesia is one of the world\u2019s biggest contributors of plastic waste that ends up in the sea.A video of a group of young\u00a0environmentalists raking up tons of trash in Teluk last year went viral on social media app TikTok.Despite the waste, the biggest complaint of local fishermen is how the weather unpredictability affects their livelihood.Jayadi, 33, said high tides during the rains have prevented him from going fishing, lamenting that income will be hit just as his family prepares to celebrate the Islamic Eid al-Fitr festival next month.\u201cMany villagers will cry because they cannot buy rice if the weather continues like this,\u201d he said. \u201cLast year around this time the sea was calmer, so we could find fish, squids.\u201dFollow the

Solikah, a 58-year-old Indonesian housewife from Teluk, a fishing village in Banten province on Java island, is distressed by the trash covering her local beach. Teluk is known for having one of Indonesia’s dirtiest beaches, exacerbated by heavy rains causing stronger tides that bring more trash ashore. Indonesia’s meteorological agency forecasts a milder dry season starting later than usual, in May and June. Fikri Jufri, leading a community beach cleaning effort, attributes the accumulation of trash to the rain and wind bringing sea-borne trash, including plastic waste, back to shore. Indonesia is a major contributor to the global issue of plastic waste in the oceans. A video of environmentalists cleaning the beach in Teluk went viral on TikTok. Local fishermen, like 33-year-old Jayadi, are impacted by weather unpredictability and high tides, affecting their income, especially ahead of the Islamic Eid al-Fitr festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":4712,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1445,2552,859,2460,3,2459,2497,250,2467,2294,396,148,623,817,1875,2551,2389,884,339,18],"class_list":["post-4711","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other","tag-ashore","tag-beach","tag-beaches","tag-community","tag-cyprus","tag-family","tag-festival","tag-google","tag-heavy-rains","tag-income","tag-indonesia","tag-local","tag-rain","tag-social-media","tag-tiktok","tag-trash","tag-video","tag-waste","tag-weather","tag-world"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"\nIndonesia
