Abstract

Industrial development shows a very significant progress for the development of the Indonesian economy, but the impact that may arise due to industrial activities is the problem of waste. This study aims to analyze the quality of seawater in the Flores Sea Waters of Bantaeng Regency using the IP and SPSS methods. This research is guided by SNI, namely sampling at ten stations and sampling points using a vandorn water sampler tool based on a predetermined depth. Analysis of water quality using SNI, knowing the level of pollution using the IP method and SPSS to determine whether there are significant differences during high and low tide conditions. The results of the analysis of the pollution index method for marine biota designation are at an unpolluted level while the designation for marine tourism is lightly polluted. SPSS shows that only the temperature parameter has a significant difference between high and low tide. Reveals that seawater quality is affected or has a relationship with the movement of high and low tides.
