Penjaringan

Penjaringan is a district of North Jakarta Administrative City, Indonesia. It is the westernmost district of North Jakarta. Muara Angke Port and the mouth of Sunda Kelapa Port are located within Penjaringan. Penjaringan contains the remnants of the original mangrove forest of Jakarta, some of which are protected by the Muara Angke Wildlife Sanctuary. Penjaringan District is criss-crossed with water-draining channels, canals, and water reservoirs to protect the land from sea flooding. The Cengkareng Drain, part of Jakarta's flood control system, flows to the sea through this district. Penjaringan District, especially within Penjaringan Administrative Village, contains several historic Dutch colonial buildings such as the remains of the city wall of Batavia and 17th-century warehouses (now a Maritime Museum). The boundaries of Penjaringan District are Jakarta Bay to the north, Sunda Kelapa Port to the east, and Kamal Muara Road - Kapuk Raya Road to the south.
