The Gulf of Madura is heavily utilized for shipping, fishing, and oil exploration. These activities impact the marine environment. This study aims to describe the spatial and temporal variability in oceanographic parameters, vertical current structures, trends, and ocean health conditions based on oceanographic parameters estimated from the OHI value. The data used in this research consists of INDESO and Marine Copernicus data. The results of the study show that monsoon phenomena greatly influence temperature and salinity in the Gulf of Madura, with temperature increasing and salinity decreasing during the northwest monsoon, and vice versa during the southeast monsoon. An analysis of oceanographic variables over the past 12 years showed an increase in salinity and nitrate variables, and a decrease in other variables. The trend fluctuation is still within the quality standard for seawater according to government regulation number 22 of 2021. The results of the calculation of the ocean health index show that the Gulf of Madura is in a fair condition with a value of 0.63. This finding can be used to manage and utilize marine space sustainably without deteriorating the ocean’s health.

The increase in ocean temperature causes the expansion of seawater volume, resulting in an increase in sea level rise. The phenomenon of land subsidence also exacerbates the occurrence of tidal floods in coastal areas of Indonesia. This has prompted the need for a study of land subsidence and the distribution of tidal floods in Tangerang as a basis for taking anticipatory steps to reduce the negative impacts. The methods used for estimating land subsidence involved the SAR Sentinel-1A. The research utilized a total of 170 data points, spanning from 2017 until 2022. Data processing was carried out using the Parallel Small Baseline Subset method. The supporting data used in this study included SRTM data, tidal range, rainfall data, wind speed and direction. The results of this study reveal that the city of Tangerang has a maximum deformation value of -10.8 cm per year in the Periuk Sub District. Meanwhile, Tangerang Regency experienced land subsidence at a rate of -8.6 cm per year in Kosambi Sub District. Significant subsidence deformations occurred on the northeast side of Tangerang District and the southeast side of Tangerang City. Based on data analysis, it is evident that the total area inundated by tidal floods in Tangerang covers 33.267 hectares, with the largest affected area being in Pakuhaji District, spanning 9,262 hectares.
