This article presents earthquake catalogs of the 2019 Ambon aftershocks compiled from regional the Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics of Indonesia (BMKG) and local seismic networks deployed in [1]. The final earthquake catalogs are comprised of 1009 and 1764 aftershocks compiled from regional [2] and local network [1], respectively, which span the period of October 18th to December 15th, 2019. The range of their spatial region is -3.

- A study by Indonesia's BMKG identified seismic gaps south of Java, indicating areas that could produce major earthquakes in the future.
- Tsunami models predict that if major segments of the megathrust fault rupture simultaneously, waves could reach heights of up to 20 meters on West Java's coast.
- These findings emphasize the need to enhance Indonesia's Tsunami Early Warning System (InaTEWS), particularly to protect the densely populated region of Java.
Nature-based solutions are becoming an increasingly important component of sustainable coastal risk management. For particularly destructive hazards like tsunamis, natural elements like vegetation are often combined with designed elements like seawalls or dams to augment the protective benefits of each component. One example of this kind of hybrid approach is the so-called tsunami mitigation park, which combines a designed hillscape with vegetation.
