Abstract

One of several factors for seaweed culture success is to determine the suitable location for seaweed culture based on oceanographic parameters. The best location for seaweed culture is coastal waters with suitable requirements for total suspended solid (TSS), sea surface temperature (SST), and area with calm water that is sheltered from waves, strong current and predator, such as lagoon in the middle of an atoll. The purpose of this study was to locate the suitable area for seaweed culture in Pari island, Seribu island using SPOT and LANDSAT-TM data. The results showed that TSS in Pari island waters were in the range of 150 mg/l - 200 mg/l, SST in the range of 22-29°C, while coral reefs and lagoon was only available in some coastal locations. The analysis showed that most of Pari island waters were suitable for seaweed culture.
