WATER QUALITY STATUS AT INTEGRITY AREA OF BUNGUS OCEAN FISHING PORT BASED ON WATER CLASSIFICATION
ABSTRACT: Ocean Fishing Port
Bungus Complex is an integrated area in ocean fishing port that bordered by the
sea (Mentawai Strait), traversed by a small river and surrounding by paddy
fields. There are several facilities in PPS Bungus Complex such as fishing
port, waters surveillance, research, fishery processing industry, settlement
and others. Various activities that exist certainly have an impact to the
existing waters. The purpose of this research is to know the status of water
quality based on water classification. The result of analysis based on
Government Regulation No.82 Year 2001 which conducted on water classifiction at
estuary and outlet shows that the condition of waters is including to the Class
IV for agriculture and industry, while around wharf, waters including to the
Class III, for fishery. The water index classifiction based on Living
Environment Minister Decree No.115 Year 2003 shows that estuary, outlets and
wharf are not polluted. Result of analysis to waters for Class IV showed index
0,780 at estuary and 0,712 at outlet, while at wharf showed index 0,794 or
Class III. Some parameters such as turbidity, BOD and Cd in estuary and outlet
slightly exceeded the quality standard but are still within tolerable limits
(Living Environment Minister Decree No.51 Year 2004). Based on the Living
Environment Minister Regulation No.3 Year 2010 on quality standard of waste
water in industrial area, in this case the outlet, shows that parameter of COD,
pH, TSS, Selenium and Copper are appropriate to quality standard.
