The high activity of local residents in fishery sector can cause adverse impacts to the water quality of Prigi Bay. In this study the sea water quantified conducted in 20 sites within Prigi Bay represented coastal area and off-shore area. The surface and 1 m depth of sea water then quantified using multi probe (AAQ-1183 IF, Japan), and resulted picture of water quality in Prigi Bay. The result of this study can be a base line of water quality of Prigi Bay due to the parameters were limiting factor of precious tropical ecosystem such as coral reef that got heavy stress from human activity in this area.
