Beach huts selling Ikan goreng and other fried fish specialties line the beach of Sedari, on the northern coast of the Indonesian island of Java. Roughly 100 km northeast of Jakarta, this laid-back fishing village is popular with capital city dwellers desperate for a fresh sea breeze. Yet the village’s seemingly peaceful appearance can be deceptive: Sedari, like other coastal villages in West Java and elsewhere in Indonesia are already suffering from the impacts of climate change, including coastal erosion and constant sea level rise.
