The district includes 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] which are prone to coastal flooding.[5]
Since at least the 1970s, the coastal communities has been engaging in milkfish and shrimp farming.[6]
