Pencemaran Organik di Perairan Pesisir Pantai Teluk Youtefa Kota Jayapura, Papua

Abstract

Perairan pesisir pantai dan laut di Teluk Youtefa Kota Jayapura saat ini mendapat masukan pencemar organik dari daratan berupa air limbah domestik, buangan dari masyarakat perkotaan. Aliran air ini akan masuk ke Sungai Acai, S. Thomas dan S. Anyaan yang mengalir dan bermuara di perairan pesisir pantai dan laut Teluk Youtefa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas perairan di pesisir pantai Teluk Youtefa kota Jayapura, dengan mengukur konsentrasi parameter pencemaran organik yaitu Oksigen Terlarut (DO), Biochemical Oxigen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxigen Demand (COD), Amonia (NH₄), Phospate (PO₄) dan Sulfat (SO₄). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa S. Acai, S. Thomas dan S. Anyaan berpotensi menyumbang bahan-bahan organik terlarut ke perairan pesisir pantai dan laut serta terdapat ancaman pencemaran dan kerusakan lingkungan pesisir pantai dan laut di Teluk Youtefa Kota Jayapura, Papua.

The sea and shoreline water quality of Youtefa Bay, Jayapura, can be affected by organic waste from the land in the form of domestic sewage waste from city residents. This water flow will enter Acai River, Thomas River, and Anyaan River which flow and empty in the beach shoreline and Youtefa Bay. The purpose of this research is to find out the water quality of the Youtefa Bay shoreline of Jayapura by measuring the concentrations of organic waste, which are Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Ammonia (NH₄), Phosphate (PO₄), and Sulfate (SO₄). The research results show that Acai River, Thomas River, and Anyaan River have the potential to contribute to dissolved organic matter in the shoreline water and sea as well as can cause pollution and damage the environment of the shoreline and sea of Youtefa Bay, Jayapura, Papua.
