Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is an important parameter in oceanographic studies because it influences climate dynamics, ocean circulation, and marine ecosystems. Continuous monitoring of SST in open sea areas requires a reliable system capable of operating autonomously. This study develops a solar-powered ocean buoy designed to measure sea surface temperature while simultaneously evaluating the performance of a solar panel as the main energy source. The system uses a DS18B20 sensor to measure SST and an INA219 sensor to monitor the voltage, current, and power of the solar panel, while an ESP32 microcontroller functions as the central data processing unit. The results show that sea surface temperature tends to remain relatively stable with small daily variations, whereas the temperature and performance of the solar panel exhibit larger fluctuations due to direct exposure to solar radiation and changing weather conditions. Solar panel performance also shows significant variations in current and power depending on the intensity of sunlight. To analyze the influence of SST variations on solar panel performance, a statistical analysis using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was conducted. The ANOVA results, based on the calculated F-value and the significance value (p-value) at a confidence level of α = 0.05, indicate that SST variations have a significant effect on solar panel performance, demonstrating that the proposed solar-powered buoy system can operate autonomously and has potential for long-term SST monitoring in offshore areas.

The problem of urban flooding is a growing issue due to high population density, increasing volumes of plastic waste, and the reduction of water absorption areas. The use of conventional paving blocks, which are impermeable, further exacerbates flooding conditions because they do not allow water to infiltrate into the soil. This study aims to develop an innovative plastic waste-based paving block incorporating rice straw and sugarcane bagasse, along with the integration of phytoremediation concepts as a solution for urban flood mitigation. The method employed was an experimental approach involving the following stages: material preparation, plastic incineration, material mixing, molding, and testing of water absorption capacity and compressive strength. The results showed that paving blocks with a combination of plastic waste, rice straw, and sugarcane bagasse had the highest water absorption rate of 34% and compressive strength of 21 kg/cm², meeting SNI standards. The addition of natural materials containing silica was proven to enhance the material’s porosity and strength. Additionally, the application of phytoremediation using water hyacinth has the potential to improve the quality of water seeping into the soil. Thus, this phytoremediation-based paving block innovation can serve as an effective alternative solution to reduce flood risks while supporting sustainable waste management and environmental stewardship.
