NORTHERN COASTAL CONDITIONS OF PALANG-TUBAN

Abstract

The coast is a transition and meeting area between the territory of the land and the ocean in which there is an intensive interaction between the components of the land and the components of the sea. A depiction of the northern coastal Palang-Tuban conditions must be made to know the whereaboutsof environmental damage. The depiction of the northern coastal Palang based on this study literature and observation field. The observation was conducted on 22-23 july 2023 by exploring the coastal villages in the cross border area and documenting the conditions of the coastal and the activities of the coastal communities in the region. North coast conditions indicate a change in coastline and decrease in sea water quality. Changes in the coastline occur due to accretion and land reclamation for community economic activities such as parking tourist vehicles, reclamation for the construction of culinary businesses and shops, as well as the construction of jetties in each village on the north coast of Palang as a place to dock for fishing boats. The sea water quality in the Palang sub-district area has decreased. The research show that there are several parameters that exceed the quality standard thresholds, such as brightness, salinity, DO and heavy metals.
