Perubahan Garis Pantai Di Sepanjang Pesisir Pantai Indramayu

Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate the characteristics of wave and sediment as well as coastline change in Indramayu. Data for the research consist of Landsat ETM satelite image process and hydro-oceanographic of wave and current. The data were analyzed by using method of energy flux, wind data forecasting, sediment statistics, budget sediment, and processing of the satelite image. Results of the research are (i) maximum wave height ranged from 0.181– 1.179 meter with a period of 1.73 – 3.36 sec, occured on the west season; (ii) sediment of coastal waters was dominated by silt-clay, with a sorting value of very well sorted, skweness very coarse skewed – near semytrical and kurtosis very platikurtik, and maximum transport sediment along the coast 0.13-11.83 kg/day; (iii) tide pattern classified as mixed tide preveling semiurdinal; (iv) current velocity of the waters ranged from 0.012-0.024 m/sec in March and 0.17-0.32 m/sec in July, with a direction of longshore current of 0.14 – 0.34 m/sec; (v) coastline abration occured with an average value of 19.89 m/year.
