Muara Gembong is a district of Bekasi Regency, West Java, Indonesia.
Demographics[edit]
As of the 2020 Indonesian census, the district has a population of 40,231, with an average population growth rate of 1.24% annually since 2010. The gender ratio is 104.9.[1]
Geography[edit]
The district is located at the delta of the Citarum River, where significant sedimentation still occurs.[2] It is located on the Bay of Jakarta.[3]
Since around 2009, coastal erosion has heavily impacted the low-lying, coastal villages, with several rukun tetangga (neighborhood-level administrative divisions) having been lost to the sea. The local government has been attempting to reduce the impact through the plantation of mangrove trees in vulnerable areas.[4] It is prone to coastal flooding.[5]
Economy[edit]
Since at least the 1970s, the coastal communities has been engaging in milkfish and shrimp farming.[6]
