<![CDATA[This study aims to identify and describe the dynamics of potential fishing areas in Cilamaya Waters, Karawang Regency, using Aqua MODIS satellite imagery data. The method used is quantitative descriptive with a remote sensing approach and spatial analysis. Sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a data for 2025 were processed using SeaDAS and ArcGIS, then analyzed using an overlay method. Potential areas were identified as areas with sea surface temperatures of 28–32°C and chlorophyll-a concentrations of 0.31–2 mg/m³. The results show that the average sea surface temperature ranges from 28.0–29.4°C, while the average chlorophyll-a ranges from 0.88–1.34 mg/m³. The West Monsoon has the highest average temperature of 29.4°C, while the East Monsoon has the highest chlorophyll-a concentration of 1.34 mg/m³. The overlay results indicate that the location of potential fishing areas changes with each season. The highest catch occurred in the first transition season, at 5.875 kg, or 27.72%, while the lowest was in the eastern season, at 4.533 kg, or 21.38%. This study concludes that Aqua MODIS imagery can be used to describe the environmental suitability and dynamics of potential fishing areas, but does not directly indicate fish abundance.]]>
