Regional Benthos Diversity, Coastal Waters, Lampageu Ujong PancuAbstract
This research aims to explore benthos diversity in the waters of Lampageu Ujong Pancu Beach, Aceh Besar Regency. Using structured field methods, we collected data on benthic species composition and environmental factors influencing their distribution. The research results provide important insights into the ecology of benthos and provide a basis for efforts to conserve the marine environment in the region. This water area is home to various types of benthic organisms, especially gastropods and bivalves, which live in various types of substrates such as sand, mud, and rocks. The dominance of certain species, such as Umbonium giganteum and Turbo cornutus, indicates the existence of a balanced ecosystem, but there are still variations in the distribution and density of benthic populations at various observation locations. Environmental factors such as substrate texture and water depth also play an important role in shaping the composition and distribution of benthic species in the water area.
