Residents of Desa Laikang, primarily seaweed farmers and fishers, report minimal official information and feel excluded from planning. The audit reveals a discrepancy between the company's public narrative of 'aquabusiness' and official documents that prioritize heavy industry, such as nickel downstreaming and electric vehicle assembly. Economic compensation is limited to low-value land payments (Rp 5,000 to Rp 11,000 per square meter) without livelihood protection. Furthermore, the project's ownership is concentrated within the family of a national political elite, raising concerns about conflicts of interest.
