Integrating Water Quality Data and GIS to Evaluate Aquaculture Suitability in Coastal Zone in Sumenep Regency

Abstract


Land suitability is a critical factor determining the success of vannamei shrimp aquaculture in coastal pond systems. This activity exhibits spatial characteristics as well as diverse biophysical and socio-economic conditions across locations, making spatial analysis essential. However, many high-intensity ponds have not fully utilized Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for site selection and management, even though this approach can significantly reduce production risks. This study was carried out through a survey method by collecting water-quality parameters, including pH, temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), nitrate, and phosphate. Land suitability was assessed using a scoring method based on weighted water-quality parameters. The analysis produced a thematic suitability map covering a total area of 7,249 m3, revealing variations among pond units. Pond 1 (2,138 m3) was classified as S1, while Pond 2 (1,879 m²) and Pond 3 (1,868 m²) fell within S1. Pond 4 (1,368 m²) was categorized as S1, indicating the suitable for sustainable aquaculture. These findings provide an important basis for optimizing sustainable pond management. This outcome further facilitates the establishment of water-quality management priorities and supports productivity enhancement efforts to achieve optimal aquaculture performance.
