Recently, coastal disasters have frequently occurred in various regions of Indonesia, causing significant material losses and even fatalities. Therefore, routine coastal disaster mitigation initiatives are imperative and must be carried out through activities such as outreach, training, and technical guidance. Participating in this activity were the Bangkalan Regency Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, community groups (Pokmas), community-based surveillance groups (Pokmaswas), and fisheries extension officers from Bangkalan Regency.

Yiyik Windah Yulianti, M.Si, the Head of the Marine Conservation Section at the Situbondo Regional Office, stated that the role of guidance is to provide the community with an understanding of the potential and reduction of coastal disaster risks in Bangkalan. In his presentation, Dr. Apri Arisandi conveyed that coastal disaster mitigation is a necessary step in disaster management efforts. With the primary objective of reducing expenses, eliminating casualties, and minimizing losses, emphasis is placed on the pre-disaster stage, particularly on mitigation activities.

This coastal disaster mitigation training activity is a continuation of the socialization conducted one year earlier. The training aims to change the mindset of coastal communities from resource exploitation to sustainable productive conservation. Therefore, collaboration with the Master of Natural Resource Management (PSDA) program, the only master's program at Universitas Trunojoyo Madura with a conservation vision, is essential. Ultimately, all activities, including material presentations and discussions, generally proceeded well and met expectations.
