Skretting Indonesia is proud to announce its active participation in a mangrove planting event held today in collaboration with Phillips Seafoods Indonesia. This initiative is part of Skretting’s ongoing commitment to supporting sustainable environmental practices and contributing to the preservation of Indonesia's vital coastal ecosystems.
The event, which took place at Pengametan Beach in North Bali, Indonesia, was attended by members of both Phillips Seafoods Indonesia and Skretting Indonesia’s dedicated teams. Together, about 45 participants successfully planted 830 mangrove trees, which were previously self-propagated at Phillips Seafoods Indonesia’s mangrove nursery facility, along the coastline. This effort will help restore crucial habitats for marine life and combat coastal erosion.
Mangroves, known for their ability to absorb carbon dioxide, provide natural barriers against coastal erosion, and support a diverse range of wildlife, play a critical role in maintaining the health of estuaries and coastal ecosystems. By planting these trees, both of Skretting Indonesia and Phillips Seafoods Indonesia are making a positive impact on the environment and helping to safeguard the natural beauty and biodiversity of the region for future generations.
“We are honored to be part of this important environmental initiative. We hope that this action will support the businesses of both Skretting Indonesia and Phillips Seafoods Indonesia,” said Budiyanto, LifeStart and Marine Grow Out Feed Manager of Skretting Indonesia. Also attending the event, Troy Keast from Phillips Seafoods Indonesia, said, “In addition to reducing plastic usage, mangrove planting is one of the many ways we are contributing to environmental sustainability. We believe that protecting our natural resources is essential to ensuring a healthy future for our communities and our planet.”
Skretting Indonesia plans to continue its support for Phillips Seafoods Indonesia environmental projects and hopes to organize similar events in the future. Skretting Indonesia encourages other organizations and individuals to join in efforts to protect and restore Indonesia's precious natural resources.
