Description
Summary:Sediment is composed of organic and inorganic particles. Accumulation of organic particles in the sediments is known as organic matter. The present of sediment in the tidal zone and the existence of organic matter accumulation in sediment is influenced by oceanographic pattern. Tide is an important influence as transporting the sediments in the coastal waters, the tides can generate currents that move a mass of water and carry suspended solid material, and become as one of the factors that play a role of organic matter transfer, both to sediment transport and sediment deposition. The purpose of this study is to determine the content and differences of Total Organic Matter [TOM] in sediments during high and low water in a tidal area at Teluk Penyu Cilacap, Indonesia. The LOI (Loss On Ignition) method is carried out to analyze the content of [TOM] in the sediment. The average content of [TOM] in 100 g of sediment during high water was obtained 3.72% and 5.86% when low water. Statistically, tidal patterns at the time of the study were not cause to the difference of the TOM content [p
