Coastal wetland soils exposed to crude oil exploration activities were assessed using microbiological and chemical procedures in the wet and dry seasons. The bacteria isolated from the impacted wetland soils included species of the genera Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Citrobacter, Azotobacter, Bacillus, Cellulomonas, Flavobacterium, Micrococcus, Proteus, Pseudomonas, Sarcina, Serratia and Staphylococcus. In addition, species of the genera Nitrobacter, Nitrosomonas and Rhizobium were isolated from the non-impacted soils. Total heterotrophic bacterial counts (THBC) in the wet and dry seasons ranged from 7.1 ± 0.4 to 8.6 ± 0.2 Log₁₀CFU g‾¹ and 3.7± 0.04 to 5.4 ± 0.1 Log₁₀CFU g‾¹ for the control and impacted soils respectively. The counts in control was 1.6 to 1.9 times higher than the impacted soil and the difference was significant at p = 0.05. The nitrifying bacteria (NB) associated with the impacted soil were the most adversely affected. There was 2.11 to 139 times higher concentration of the different heavy metals in the impacted soil than the control and 1.13 to 1.26 x 104 times higher Total petroleum hydrocarbon in the impacted soils in both seasons and these differences were significant (p = 0.05). Dehydrogenase activity was 2.8 to 3.1 times higher in the control soils compared to the impacted soil whereas Phenol oxidase was 15.14 to 15.75 times higher in the impacted soils in both seasons. This study indicates that Exploration and Production activitiesi in the coastal wetlands if not carried out according to specified guidelines by the environmental control agencies can result in the reduction of beneficial soil bacterial population and diversity, high concentrations of heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbon and decreased dehydrogenase activity at impacted explored wetland site. It also revealed non-impacted regions of this explored wetlands not within oil pipe-line routes are fit for agricultural use.

Research has been conducted on the analysis of seawater pollution index in the Raja Ampat tourism park of Papua Barat by using Cu and Pb concentration as parameters. The research aims to produce information on water conditions in Raja Ampat. Those information can ensure the sustainability of this area in the future. AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer) instrument was used to perform water samples analysis. Samples taken from five locations, namely Sapokren, Saleo, Waiwo, Waisai Harbour and Waisai Fish Harbour, which were respectively marked with area I, II, III, IV and V. For Cu parameter; area I was found, which was 0.62 mg/L which had exceeded the quality standard, while area II, III, IV, and V were not existed Cu. Furthermore for Pb; the concentration of heavy metals founded in four locations, area I, II, III and IV; 2,99 mg/L, 1,76 mg/L, 1,27 mg/L and 0,23 mg/L respectively. Other while area V was not found Pb concentration. All quality standard data were entered into the pollution index equation in accordance with the guidelines of KepmenLH No. 115 of 2003. The data showed that only one area was still in the good category, area V, the remaining area I, II, III and IV were included in the category of metal contaminated areas of Cu and Pb with varied levels of pollution beginning at low, middle to high.
