Abstract: This study investigates the impact of embankment construction in 2020 on the distribution of oceanographic parameters and emerging pollutants (nitrate, phosphate, and total suspended solids [TSS]) in Pekalongan waters from 2021 to 2024. Climate change, sea‐level rise, and land subsidence have contributed to tidal flooding, which the embankment aims to mitigate. However, this construction may also affect water quality, influencing primary productivity and the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems. Measurements of TSS nitrate (NO₃⁻), phosphate (PO₄3⁻), and chlorophyll‐a, and water quality indicators (temperature, salinity, pH, and dissolved oxygen [DO]) were conducted across four river estuaries: Banger, Loji, Sengkarang, and Bedahan. Hydrodynamic modeling and geospatial interpolation were used to analyze spatial changes and identify correlations between oceanographic factors, currents, tides, and seasonal variability. The results revealed significant seasonal variations, with hydrodynamic shifts linked to altered nutrient distribution and sediment accumulation. These findings highlight the importance of wastewater management and coastal adaptation strategies to address pollution risks and ensure sustainable environmental management in the region.
