This series of activities also supports and encourages community preparedness in facing the new normal order in the Covid-19 pandemic situation. Wiwiet Teguh Taufani, M.Si and the team carried out an activity with the theme “Socialization of Healthy Living Habits Movement” which was applied in making information boards related to health protocols for tourist visitors. According to Prof. Suradi Wijaya Saputra and his team, as an effort to strengthen the role of society in mitigating and adapting new habits, the provision of appropriate technology in the form of hand washing stations must be reproduced in the Jatibarang Reservoir Area.

Apart from washing hands, Churun’Ain, M.Si and the team through the Science and Technology Program for Assisted Villages (IDBU) have provided training in making hand soap, hand sanitizer and disinfectant from Aloe Vera. Dr. Diah Ayuningrum and her team also invited residents around the reservoir to maintain health and immune resistance through the “Family Medicinal Plant Development (TOGA) program as an Effort to Improve the Immune System in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic”.

Now the new normal order has required Pokdarwis Suko Makmur to adapt to the tourism sector. Increasing the tourism sector is also the focus of service activities. In addition to increasing people’s income through the tourism sector, this activity also aims to increase the interest of tourist visitors to the Jatibarang Reservoir tourist attraction. Churun’Ain, M.Si with Dr. Suryanti and Nurul Latifah, M.Si brought the concept of education which was applied in the form of making ecotourism thematic maps and infographics of the Jatibarang Reservoir by utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) technology.

Various service activities carried out by the Department of Aquatic Resources have supported the Sustainable Development Goals program number 1 No Poverty, 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth and 14 Life Below Water. (Dept. SDA).

FPIK, SEMARANG –

Five students from the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Science (FPIK), Diponegoro University (UNDIP) successfully won a bronze medal at the Korea International Women’s Inventions Expositions (KIWIE) 2020 event. They collaborated to make a product called Chiberry Jam and it was successfully exhibited in the international arena. Chiberry Jam or which stands for Chitosan & Strawberry Jam is a food product that uses local strawberries and waste from shrimp carapace to be used as jam as an alternative food for cholesterol sufferers.

Apart from being able to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, this product is predicted to be able to reduce waste generated from the shrimp farming industry and support increased agricultural yields, especially domestic strawberries.

The five outstanding students referred to are Nurfitri Lutfiah Sufiani, Rissinta Mahdalena, Sarrah Nadhifah Azmy, Yolla Febriani and Nalia Tasya Gunawan. The five students are active students of the Department of Fisheries Product Technology (THP) FPIK UNDIP. Despite the limited conditions amid the Covid-19 pandemic, they have proven by making achievements in the international arena. In the future, they hope that Chiberry Jam can be produced through clinical trials, so that it can be consumed and have a positive impact on the health of the Indonesian people. (BEMFPIK).
