Analysis of Heavy Metal Content in the Coral Reef and Foraminifera Benthic in Coastal Regions of Lampung Bay

Coral reefs and benthic foraminifera are efficient pollution bioindicators for predicting heavy metal pollution due to their great tolerance to high ecological pressures, so that these biota are used as test animals in monitoring the accumulation rate of heavy metals of marine waters.The purpose of this study is to determine the heavy metal consentration, such as Silver (Ag), Cadmium (Cd), Cobalt (Co), Cromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese Mn), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) on benthic biota, foraminifera and hard corals of lampung bay Coastal Waters by using the ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry).Samples were analyzed in integrated biomass laboratory of the University of Lampung.The results of the study obtained on coral reef samples taken from the three locations refer to the Heavy Metal Standard in Sediment only of Ag metal which passed the standard of Metals according to the Regulation of the Governor of DIY (Daerah Istimewa Yogyakakarta).7 of 2010, with an average (0.42 mg/kg), (0.19 mg/kg), (0.23 mg/kg).when passes the standard were Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn. for thes Foraminifera samples heavy metal consentration exceeding the quality standard in the sediment was Ag , colected from Sari Ringgung and Tegal island , with the consentration of 0.250 mg / kg and 0.161 mg / kg.when to the standard of metal in Sea water for heavy metal biota that passes the standard quality standards are Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn.
