With 51.2 kilometer of coastline, Tangerang has 29 subdistricts, 8 of which coastal subdistricts. Two of the main issues in Tangerang Regency are poverty and environment degradation. To address these, the regency developed and implemented the Gerbang Mapan, an integrated coastal management program designed to provide acceleration for the development of coastal communities based on three (3) pillars of development, namely; (1) The Acceleration of Economic Development, which is supported by (2) Acceleration of Infrastructure Development, and (3) Strengthening Community Empowerment.
One of the goals of the Gerbang Mapan program is to empower coastal communities, especially in education. Through the program, a social project, the "Pesisir Mengajar" (Coastal Teaching), was initiated to increase environmental awareness through community education.

THE PESISIR MENGAJAR PROGRAM
The sense of belonging and love of the sea and coast is an important aspect that needs to be instilled in children from an early age. As part of the next generation who will build and develop the country and its resources, children should be taught to take pride in their country and regency, including the environmental issues and thus hone them into passionate stewards of Tangerang and Indonesia's natural resources. Thus, the Pesisir Mengajar targets fifth grade elementary school students as the program's beneficiaries.
Another component of the Coastal Teaching program is its training of individuals to become volunteer educators, who will then serve as teachers to the elementary school students. As part of the program, learning activities are aimed at providing a new atmosphere in the primary school teaching-learning process in the coastal areas of Tangerang Regency.
In line with the Tangerang Regency's ICM Implementation, the Fisheries Agency initiated the planning for Pesisir Mengajar in 2014 and began its implementation in 2016, recruiting 20 volunteers who were placed in 9 elementary schools in coastal areas. In 2017, with the support of the Regent of Tangerang, the program was able to recruit 60 volunteers and reach 30 elementary coastal area schools. The program's official tagline is: "Informal School at the Formal Class".
