Dinamika kawasan pesisir mencakup proses erosi dan sedimentasi merupakan hal penting untuk mengetahui kondisi pantai. Pesisir Kecamatan Brebes merupakan salah satu kawasan di Pantai Utara Pulau Jawa yang memiliki dinimika perubahan pesisir sangat kuat. Studi sebaran jenis sedimen yang dilakukan secara terpadu di perairan Kecamatan Brebes ditunjukkan untuk memberikan gambaran proses transportasi dan pengendapan sedimen berdasarkan distribusi ukuran butir sedimen. Penelitian dilakukan dengan pengambilan sampel sedimen dasar perairan secara acak dan tersebar di sepanjang pesisir dengan metode grab sampler, kemudian dilakukan analisis lebih lanjut dengan metode granulometri. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum, pola sebaran sedimen permukaan dasar laut Kec.Brebes didominasi oleh sedimen berukuran lempung-pasir. Jenis sedimen berdasarkan ukuran butirnya yaitu pasir, pasir lanauan, lanau pasiran dan lanau. Kondisi hidro-oseanografi yang fluktuatif memberikan nilai sortasi buruk hingga sedang, dominasi ukuran halus tersebar pada bagian Timur, sedangkan fraksi kasar tersebar dibagian Barat dekat dengan laut lepas. Kondisi tersebut menjadikan salah satu faktor tererosinya bagian pesisir Kecamatan Brebes dengan dinamika hidro-oseanografi yang berubah-ubah.
The waters of Weh Island, Aceh Province has potency become the area for offshore aquaculture. Offshore Floating Net Cages can be an appropriate technology in increasing the biomass cultivation in Weh Island waters. However, no feasibility study has been done. Therefore, this study aims to examine the suitability of offshore aquaculture locations in the East and South regions of Weh Island Based on Hydro-oceanography parameters. The parameters examined were water quality parameters such as temperature, brightness, pH, salinity and dissolved oxygen. In addition, we also examined the aspects of physical oceanography such as tides, currents and bathymetry. The results show that the water depth ranged from 0-57 m. The tidal type in the Weh Island waters is mixed tide prevailing semidiurnal with the tidal range of 1.9 m. The average of current speed ranged from 19.03-37.67 cm/s with the directions predominantly toward northwest and southeast. It is concluded that the water quality data show that the eastern and southern parts of Weh Island are categorized as the feasible locations for offshore aquaculture.

Mandeh Bay is threatened by sedimentation issue caused by the rapid development of marine tourism area which strongly impacts to the environmental degradation. Due to the semi-enclosed area of Mandeh Bay, the tidal current has a significant role in triggering vertical and horizontal transports within the bay. This study aimed to determine the characteristic of tidal current during the southwest monsoon. We developed a hydrodynamic model based on Navier-Stokes equations using a flexible mesh and tidal forecast in which the validation is performed by ADCP data. The simulation results will be used as the basic data to develop a model which depicts the elliptical pattern of tidal current constituents. Offshore rotary tidal currents which are originally semidiurnal reiterate the elliptical pattern every 6 hours and 12 minutes. The strongest semidiurnal current speeds are observed in the bay mouth ranged from 0.1-0.5 m.s-1. The tidal constituent ellipses are oriented more meridionally and in several areas oriented zonally. The current speed of is the highest at all which the speed is averagely one third of magnitude. While, the two main diurnal tidal constituents ( and ) have the maximum speeds approximately one fifth of magnitude. Thus, the domination of semidiurnal constituents may trigger sediment distribution and accumulation within the bay because of its twice tidal oscillations entering the bay.
Sabang coastal bay becomes the area of significance where the development centered in the semi-enclosed area. Sabang Bay is well-known as the center of marine economy (Aquaculture, Harbor, and marine tourism). Recently, there is a planning initiated by Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) to install the floating fish cage aquaculture (KJA) in the offshore area of Sabang Bay which the planning becomes a controversy between local people, local government, and researchers as well. This study aims to evaluate and discuss the impacts that will be happened if KJA is applied. Field surveys on hydro-oceanography aspects were done measuring currents, tides, waves, winds, bathymetry, water quality, as well as tourism condition. Based on those hydro-oceanography conditions, Sabang Bay categorized into calm water area where the sea current is weak (ranging from 0-0.12 m/s), whilst the high values of pH, salinity, and temperature are identified within the bay during low tidal condition. If KJA is installed within the bay, automatically it will pollute the water due to the accumulation of remaining fish feeder wastes. Moreover, within the bay, there are several attractive marine tourisms such as diving sites, the conservation area of Sophie Rickmers shipwreck site, and hot bubble (fumaroles hydrothermal vent). The presence of KJA will possibly disrupt marine tourism activities so that the implementation of KJA needs to be considered the impacts before installation.
Banda Aceh City, having an area of 61.36 km² with a coastline of 11 km which covers Ulee Lheu Beach to Alue Naga Beach. The research was carried out to determine marine debris statistics (type, amount and mass) which divided into 7 categories; plastic, metal, glass, rubber, processed wood (organic), clothing, and ceramics. This research also conducted to complement the Indonesian marine debris data which currently incomplete. We choose Banda Aceh as the preliminary location because its area affected by dynamic oceanographic parameters of the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal and bordered by several countries that could be a source of marine debris, thus making this research is important to do. Marine debris data were collected from March to May 2019, on the coast and waters surface. Data collection on the beach is carried out every 28 days using the transect method, while on the water surface by riding boats using visual observation techniques. Statistical results show that inorganic litter has the highest percentage and mass, which a mass density reached 288.37 g/100 m2 at Ulee Lheu Beach and 64.96 g/1 00 m2 at Alue Naga Beach. Plastic type dominates the type of marine debris on the beach about 92.2% and 51.4% on the water surface. The amount of plastic especially bottle continues to accumulate, it will not only endanger marine waters ecosystem but also potential to affect and damage the coastal environment. The results of this study are expected to provide input / recommendations for the government and related institutions in waste management in coastal and marine areas and tourism in a sustainable and sustainable way.
