Description
Summary:South Sulawesi is one of Indonesia’s provinces with various forms of waters around its territory, such as the sea, strait, the Spermonde archipelago, and bay. This geographical condition makes it interesting to examine what phenomena can affect the characteristics and variability of ocean waves in each type to increase efficiency and effectiveness in carrying out activities in the waters, especially fishing. By utilizing the BMKG Ina-Waves wave model and NASA’s Aqua MODIS satellite image, the characteristics and variations of ocean waves and the level of fertility of the waters around South Sulawesi Province can be seen. Based on the climatological analysis of wind, ocean waves, and the distribution of chlorophyll-a in this study, the results showed that the Asian and Australian monsoon phenomena greatly influenced these three parameters. The monsoon winds increase the average wave height and affect the distribution of chlorophyll-a concentrations in the waters of South Sulawesi and its surroundings. Efficiency and effectiveness of fishing at sea are carried out during the transition season in the coastal waters of South Sulawesi so that the risk of sea accidents can be minimized.
