YKAN is committed to the sustainable management of 10 million hectares of Indonesia’s coastal and marine resources. These resources support sustainable livelihoods and protect Indonesia’s biodiversity. YKAN achieves this through four main strategies: Blue Economy, Sustainable Fisheries, Coastal Resilience, and Ocean Protection.

By 2030, YKAN aims to manage at least 14 million hectares of Indonesia’s coastal and marine resources sustainably. This includes improving the management of 300,000 hectares of mangrove forests. The goal is to support coastal livelihoods, sustainable fisheries management, and Indonesia’s biodiversity while potentially reducing emissions by 400,000 tCO2e/year.
