'''Jakarta Bay''' ({{langx|id|Teluk Jakarta}}) is a [[bay]] north of [[North Jakarta]] city. The [[Thousand Islands (Indonesia)|Thousand Islands]] are located in Jakarta Bay. 13 [[river]]s flow into the bay. The majority of the bay's coastal communities consist of people living below the [[Poverty threshold|poverty line]], in conditions of poor sanitation. Nutrient inputs from [[agricultural pollution|agricultural runoff]], industrial pollution, and wastewater have led to [[eutrophication]], which in turn led to changes in the area's biodiversity.<ref>{{cite journal| doi=10.1016/j.marpolbul.2009.02.021 | pmid=19342065 | volume=59 | issue=4–7 | title=Decline of the Jakarta Bay molluscan fauna linked to human impact | year=2009 | journal=Marine Pollution Bulletin | pages=101–107 | last1 = van der Meij | first1 = Sancia E.T.| url=http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/document/353830 }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal| doi=10.1016/j.marpolbul.2010.05.011 | pmid=20615515 | volume=60 | issue=9 | title=Long-term changes in coral assemblages under natural and anthropogenic stress in Jakarta Bay (1920–2005) | year=2010 | journal=Marine Pollution Bulletin | pages=1442–1454 | last1 = van der Meij | first1 = Sancia E.T.| url=http://www.repository.naturalis.nl/record/409044 }}</ref> Harmful [[algal blooms]] have been observed.<ref>[http://www.unesco.org/webworld/netaid/env/jakarta.html UNESCO - Community Waste Recycling in Jakarta Bay]</ref>
