Abstract Clorophyll is the colour pigment most common found in phytoplankton. Its concentration is one of the indicator of the high of productivity of aquatic area, especially in coastal area. Information of chlorophyll concentration and distribution is very important to determine the suitable location of marine aquaculture and prediction of fishing ground. The aims of this research were to: 1) find out and analyze the concentration of chlorophyll and its distribution in Borneo Island Indonesia and 2) the pattern of chlorophyll distribution for each provinces using modis terra data for five years (from January 2016 to December 2020) in monthly and annually data series. In addition, it used Seadas 7.5.3 for data visualization. The result of this research showed that the chlorophyll concentration ranged 0,045 – 20 mg/m 3 and clorophyll distribution affected by the location that seen in all variation data series. In annually time series data, the highest value of concentration shown by west borneo province and central borneo province with the distribution area were larger as well. The distribution of chlorophyll in monthly data showed almost same with annually data time series. The difference was just in large area distribution. The pattern of chlorophyll distribution also showed that in the west Kalimantan and central Kalimantan area had the highest values.
