Karakteristik Mikroplastik Pada Ekosistem Pesisir Di Kawasan Mangrove Perancak, Bali
Summary
This Indonesian study investigated microplastic contamination in a coastal mangrove ecosystem in Perancak, comparing natural and disturbed zones. Mangrove ecosystems can both trap and be harmed by microplastic pollution.
Tingkat pencemaran mikroplastik di kawasan ekosistem pesisir telah diteliti pada bulan Juli 2016. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat pencemaran mikroplastik pada daerah hutan alami dan area bekas tambak di kawasan hutan mangrove Perancak Jembrana Bali. Pengambilan sampel sedimen dilakukan dengan corer dengan kedalamam 0-30 cm, yang selanjutnya akan dibagi dalam tiga tingkat kedalaman (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm dan 20 -30 cm). Metode pemisahan partikel mikroplastik (0,25-5mm) didasarkan pada pemisahan berat jenis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan jenis mikroplastik yang ditemukan pada daerah hutan alami dan bekas tambak adalah film, fiber, fragmen dan pelet. Daerah hutan alami (F) ditemukan persentase tertinggi mikroplastik adalah dari jenis film (82,2%), kemudian diikuti dengan fragmen (9,7%) fiber (5,8%) dan pelet (2,3%). Bekas tambak (P) ditemukan dominasi mikroplastik yang sama yaitu film (48,5%) diikuti fragmen (31,6%), fiber (17,7%) dan pelet (2,2%). Kelimpahan jenis mikroplastik di daerah hutan alami lebih besar dibandingkan areal bekas tambak. Kondisi ini mengindikasikan bahwa hutan alami lebih efektif dalam menjebak sampah plastik dibanding dengan bekas tambak.

Profil Pencemaran Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen Ekosistem Mangrove di Pulau Serangan, Bali
Indonesian researchers measured microplastic contamination in mangrove sediments at Serangan Island, Bali, sampling across different depths and land-use types to map the distribution of plastic particles in this coastal ecosystem. Mangroves act as natural plastic traps due to their dense root networks, making them important sentinels for monitoring coastal plastic pollution.
Revealing Microplastic Contamination in Mangrove Sediments from Setiu Wetlands, Malaysia
Researchers found 2,292 microplastic particles per kilogram of sediment in the mangrove wetlands of Setiu, Malaysia, with over 80% being tiny fibers likely from fishing gear and packaging. Areas near aquaculture operations had the highest contamination levels, and the microplastic surfaces showed signs of environmental degradation that could make them more toxic. Mangrove ecosystems act as natural traps for microplastics, concentrating pollution in habitats that are vital for fisheries and coastal protection.
Dampak Mikroplastik terhadap Ekosistem Pesisir: Sebuah Telaah Pustaka
This Indonesian-language review examines the impacts of microplastics on coastal ecosystems, covering effects on marine organisms, sediment quality, and food web dynamics. The paper highlights the vulnerability of tropical coastal environments to plastic pollution from both land-based and marine sources.
A review on microplastic pollution in the mangrove wetlands and microbial strategies for its remediation
Researchers reviewed the growing problem of microplastic pollution in mangrove wetland ecosystems and its effects on the biological communities that depend on these habitats. They found that microplastic exposure can substantially alter the microbial communities critical to nutrient cycling in mangrove environments. The review also explores microbial bioremediation strategies as a sustainable approach to addressing plastic pollution in these threatened coastal ecosystems.
Characteristics and distribution of microplastics in the coastal mangrove sediments of China
A survey of mangrove sediments along China's coast found microplastics were ubiquitous, with concentrations and polymer types varying by proximity to human activity and hydrological conditions. The study shows that mangrove forests, which provide critical coastal ecosystem services, are accumulating significant quantities of plastic pollution.
