Marine Debris Mitigation Strategy in Supporting the Development of Sustainable Tourism in SEZ Mandalika Lombok
AI summary Read the abstract
This Indonesian study analyzed the characteristics and sources of marine debris on beaches in the Mandalika tourism zone in Lombok and proposed mitigation strategies. Managing plastic waste at tourist destinations is important for preventing further microplastic contamination of coastal ecosystems.
Concerns about increasing marine debris at priority tourist destinations in SEZ Mandalika require a comprehensive mitigation strategy. The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of marine debris on three different types of beaches and to analyze marine debris mitigation strategies. Data collection was conducted by field survey with a transect methode. Marine debris mitigation strategies are identified quantitative SWOT analysis. Characteristics of macro marine debris at Tanjung Aan Beach based on the amount dominated 41% plastic. Meso marine debris is dominated by plastic foam in the form of white cork 48%. In the fishing area, the characteristics of marine debris is dominated type of cloth material 52% in the form of fishing thread and other fabrics. Meso marine debris in the fishing area dominated 45% in the form of white cork flakes. Characteristics of macro marine debris at Batu Berang Beach, it was found that fabric waste dominated 42%. Meso waste in Batu Beach is dominated 60% plastic. The alternative strategy that the highest score (2.99) is the sorting of organic and non-organic waste in various coastal typologies by visitors with the preparation of facilities and infrastructure by the tourism management or village government.

Sustainable Tourism as the Management Option for Litter Problems in Tasik and Leuweung Sancang Garut Coastal Areas, Indonesia
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers assessed marine debris and plastic litter problems along the Tasikmalaya and Garut coastline in Indonesia and evaluated sustainable tourism as a management strategy. They found that remote beaches had less contamination than village-adjacent beaches, and that tourism development without proper waste management worsened litter accumulation. The study recommends integrating sustainable tourism practices with waste reduction to address coastal plastic pollution.
