The group then visited the Sanggou Bay Marine Ranch, a hot family-friendly tourist destination to experience marine farming.

"Visiting Sanggou Bay Marine Ranch was a pleasant experience because I could see and experience firsthand how clams, abalone, octopus and even puffer fish are cultivated," said Desca Lydia Natalia, a journalist with Antara, Indonesia's national news agency.

"This experience not only enhanced my understanding but also provided enjoyment, as I could directly eat clams and abalone freshly harvested from the sea. On the way to and from the ranch, I even had the opportunity to feed the seagulls."
