Summary

Researchers assessed the composition and density of macro marine debris in a mangrove area of Boalemo Regency, Indonesia. Plastic waste was the predominant debris type, posing a threat to the mangrove ecosystem and its biodiversity. The study provides baseline data for monitoring and managing marine debris in coastal Indonesian communities.

This study aims to determine the composition and density of macro marine debris in the mangrove area of Keramat Village, Mananggu Sub-District, Boalemo Regency. This research was carried out from August to September 2021. Data collection was carried out using a purposive sampling survey method using 3 line transects to collect macro-sized waste types. The results of the study found that several types of waste in the mangrove area of Keramat Village consisted of plastic and non-plastic waste. The composition of plastic waste amounted to 99.14%, and non-plastic waste was 0.86%. The highest density was found in line transect 1 with a value of 6500 amount/ha.
