To commemorate World Oceans Day, JALA held its annual Ocean Ranger 2026 event on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Pantai Baru, Bantul, Yogyakarta. Bringing together the entire JALA team, the event focused on environmental conservation through a series of engaging and educational activities aimed at supporting the sustainability of coastal and marine ecosystems.
In collaboration with Rela One Day, Ocean Ranger 2026 featured two main conservation initiatives, mangrove planting and the release of sea turtle hatchlings into their natural habitat. These activities reflect JALA’s ongoing commitment to protecting coastal environments, which play an essential role in supporting local communities and the shrimp farming industry.

Beyond the conservation activities, participants also took part in a beach clean up to help remove waste that could potentially pollute the marine environment. The event became even more exciting with an amazing race, a team based game that encouraged collaboration and problem solving through a series of challenges around the beach area. “Everyone showed incredible enthusiasm throughout the day. Despite the challenging mangrove planting area and the rain, the team remained excited and fully engaged in every activity. It was a memorable experience for many of us”, said Kartika Sary, Sr. People Development & Engagement JALA.
