Abstract
Influence The spread of fresh water flowing from the river affects The water mass structure of the coastal areas. Especially when there is reclamation around the coastal area, for it is very important to do water environmental research on the coast. In this study, we observed the spatio distribution of water quality at the mouth of the Tallo River and the Jeneberang River which is a cell with Makassar coast. The result of the observation shows the describing the spatio distribution of turbidity, salinity, and temperature using water quality. The conclusions of this research are: (i) influence of flesh water to water mass structure in around Makassar Coast,(ii) At the bottom of the mouth of the River Jeneberang and Tallo River turbidity is high, (iii) The river discharge is low causes low salinity and strong vertical mixing occurred in this area.
