TSS and chlorophyll-a are important indicators of water quality and fertility. Increased TSS inhibits light and photosynthesis of phytoplankton, thus reducing primary productivity. The research was conducted in February-April 2025, in the seawaters of Sepahat Beach, Bandar Laksmana District, Bengkalis Regency, to analyze and understand the relationship between TSS and Chlorophyll-a content, and to provide information about the fertility of waters in the study area. The method used in this research is a survey with a purposive sampling technique, targeting objects along the coast and 10 observation points. At each sampling point, 2 times water sampling is carried out, namely on the surface of 0-3 m and the middle of 3-6 m. The results showed the TSS content and the content of Chlorophyll-a in the Sepahat Beach sea area. The results showed TSS content and chlorophyll-a content with an average of 99.3 mg/L and 0.5236 on the 0-3 m surface. TSS content and chlorophyll-a content with an average of 69.2 mg/L and 0.3974 at 3-6 m. The weak relationship between TSS and chlorophyll-a, with a correlation coefficient value of 0.318 on the surface 0-3 m, has no significant effect <0.4 and a moderate relationship between TSS and chlorophyll-a with a correlation coefficient value of 0.592 at 3-6 m depth
