Management of the Yeh Luwi Estuary Area as a Disaster Mitigation Strategy for Climate Change

Abstract The Yeh Luwi Estuary in Tibubeneng, Bali, faces escalating environmental threats exacerbated by climate change. Rising sea levels intensified precipitation patterns, and increased erosion and abrasion risks pose significant challenges to this critical ecological and socio-economic area. Climate-induced impacts endanger local cultural sites like Perancak Temple and vital infrastructure such as Berawa Beach. Addressing these challenges requires urgent implementation of comprehensive climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. Sustainable land-use practices, including preserving natural buffers and integrating cultural and ecological tourism development, are essential to enhancing coastal resilience. Effective management strategies, informed by SWOT analysis and climate data from sources like NASA POWER, are crucial for mitigating flood and erosion risks and safeguarding the estuarine ecosystem and community livelihoods. Collaborative efforts involving stakeholders and leveraging local cultural strengths are pivotal in building resilience and ensuring the sustainable future of the Yeh Luwi Estuary amidst ongoing climate change impacts.
