Abstract

Ketapang Beach, situated in Pesawaran Regency, Lampung, is a well-known tourist spot frequented by many visitors. The beach features a pier and a boat lane used for transporting tourists to nearby islands. Additionally, the surrounding area is home to residential communities and small-scale fish farming. Despite this activity, a comprehensive analysis of the beach’s water conditions had not been conducted previously, and there is limited information available on its water quality and pollution levels. Given the extensive human activity, it is crucial to monitor the water quality regularly, as these activities can significantly impact the ecosystem. This study collected data on several physical, chemical, and biological water parameters, such as temperature, total suspended solids (TSS), pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), ammonia, nitrite, orthophosphate, lead (Pb), and total coliform bacteria. These parameters were measured to evaluate the water quality using the Pollution Index (IP), with reference to the seawater quality standards for marine tourism and aquatic life. The findings revealed that several parameters—such as salinity, dissolved oxygen, BOD5, ammonia, orthophosphate, and lead (Pb)—exceeded the recommended thresholds. Based on the Pollution Index assessment, the waters at Ketapang Beach were classified as moderately polluted.Keywords: Ammonia, pollution index, purposive sampling, water pollution.

Abstract

Tirtayasa Beach is a coastal tourism attraction in Bandar Lampung City, located in Way Tataan Village, East Teluk Betung District. The waters of Tirtayasa Beach have significant tourism potential due to their natural beauty. However, a decline in water quality, caused by increased human activities and domestic waste input around the beach, has affected the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the waters. Mollusks can serve as indicators of water quality. Therefore, the structure of the mollusk community can be used to assess the condition of these waters. This study aimed to evaluate the structure of mollusk populations and analyze the influence of water quality on mollusk communities in the intertidal zone of Tirtayasa Beach, East Teluk Betung District, Lampung. The selection of study locations/stations and observation points was carried out using the purposive sampling method. The mollusks identified in the waters of Tirtayasa Beach belong to two classes: Gastropoda and Bivalvia. The Gastropoda class, with eight species, dominated across the three stations, with Cerithium kobelti being the most prevalent species. The parameter that significantly affected mollusk abundance at Station 1 was pH. At Station 2, depth, brightness, dissolved oxygen (DO), and salinity were influential. At Station 3, total suspended solids (TSS) and temperature were the key influencing factors.  Keywords: Abundance, biodiversity, evenness index, principal component analysis.
