Lhokseumawe is a designated as an Economic Growth Center (EGC), making it very susceptible to producing heavy metals.This research aimed to measure the content of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in oysters (Saccostrea cucullata), water, and sediment in the Cunda Strait, as well as evaluate the relationship between heavy metals and environmental conditions. The experiment was conducted at five stations selected based on considerations of seawater inflow and outflow into the Cunda Strait and existing pollution sources.
