DAMPAK REKLAMASI PEMBANGUNAN TANGGUL LAUT TERHADAP PEREMPUAN BURUH PEMIPIL KERANG

However, reclamation also has negative impacts: eliminating fishermen's livelihoods, causing water pollution, destroying ecosystems, and eliminating access to fishing grounds.  Out of many negative impacts of reclamation, what has not been widely discussed is the negative impact on women, especially women who work in post-production sector.
