Zurich Indonesia and Seasoldier Plant Hundreds of Mangrove Seedlings to Strengthen Coastal Resilience in Commemoration of International Mangrove Day

Tangerang, 23 July 2026 – Zurich Indonesia collaborate with Seasoldier to plant more than 500 Rhizophora mucronata mangrove seedlings in commemoration of International Mangrove Day 2026, in the Perhutani Banten area of Tanjung Pasir, Tangerang. The initiative is part of a coastal ecosystem rehabilitation effort aimed at increasing resilience against coastal erosion, supporting carbon sequestration, and sustaining the livelihoods of coastal communities.

Mangroves are among the most important coastal ecosystems in maintaining environmental balance. In addition to protecting shorelines from erosion and wave action, mangrove forests serve as habitats for a wide range of fish, crabs, shrimp, birds, and other marine species.

"As a company committed to helping communities become more resilient towards risks, Zurich Indonesia views environmental conservation as an important part of building long-term resilience. Through this mangrove planting initiative with Seasoldier, we hope to help protect coastal areas from climate change impacts while preserving the ecosystems that support the livelihoods of local communities," said Tini Nurianto, Director of PT Zurich Asuransi Indonesia Tbk.

In the coastal area of Tanjung Pasir, Tangerang Regency, mangroves play an increasingly critical role as the region faces direct exposure to Jakarta Bay waters and challenges such as coastal erosion, shoreline changes, and pressures from human activities. Mangrove restoration in this area is expected to strengthen natural coastal protection, improve habitat quality for wildlife, and support the sustainability of livelihoods that depend on coastal resources.

This initiative is part of Zurich Indonesia’s commitment to environmental sustainability through collaboration with various stakeholders. Beyond planting, the program with Seasoldier adopts a long-term approach through careful site selection, engagement with local communities, and regular monitoring of mangrove growth to ensure that the ecological benefits generated can be sustained over time.

Participants also received education on the importance of mangrove ecosystems to coastal communities and their role in addressing climate change. The session aimed to raise awareness that protecting environment is not only the responsibility of governments or environmental organizations, but a shared responsibility that requires collective action.

As an organization focused on coastal and marine ecosystem conservation, Seasoldier emphasizes that successful restoration is not measured solely by the number of seedlings planted, but how the mangroves grows, survives, and provide long-term ecological and social benefits.

"Seasoldier continues to work alongside local communities to rehabilitate mangrove areas that  needs restoration. With more than 10 years of experience and the continuous development of mangrove planting methods, we have witnessed the benefits from healthy and thriving mangrove ecosystems. Such success would not be possible without the support of various stakeholders, including Zurich Indonesia," said Dinni Septianingrum, Founder of Seasoldier.

The collaboration between Zurich Indonesia and Seasoldier demonstrates how the private sector and society organizations can collaborate to create measurable environmental impact. By engaging local communities as part of the solution, the program not only results in mangrove planting activities but also fosters greater awareness and a stronger sense of stewardship for coastal ecosystems.

Looking ahead, both organizations hope to expand similar collaborations so that more coastal areas across Indonesia can benefit from mangrove restoration efforts. Every seedling planted today represents an investment in the future of the environment, coastal communities, and generations to come.
