Marine macro debris transport based on hydrodynamic model before and after reclamation in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia
Summary
This hydrodynamic modeling study predicted how marine debris would move in Jakarta Bay before and after planned land reclamation, finding that the new island configuration would alter debris transport patterns. The study is relevant to understanding how coastal development affects the distribution of plastic waste.
Jakarta Bay as an area with the densest population in Indonesia became one of the highest contamination level waters in the world includes pollution of debris. Reclamation activities in Jakarta Bay will change the water conditions will also affect the distribution of debris at sea. Therefore, this study conducted to determine the movement of the macro debris before and after island reclamation in Jakarta Bay. The method used is a model that simulated by the hydrodynamic model and particle trajectory model. Data needed for the hydrodynamic model were wind, tides, bathymetry, and shoreline, while for the trajectory of the particles using a data type of macro debris, debris weight, and debris flux. Hydrodynamics simulations indicate if a reclamation island formation does not change surface current patterns significantly, but causes a decrease in the flow velocity of ± 0.002 to 0.02 m/s at some point. The trajectory of particles of debris indicate if after reclamation, debris tends to accumulate in the eastern Jakarta Bay in the rainy season (January) as there are anticlockwise eddy current, as well as in the western and eastern regions during the dry season (July), because there is a clockwise eddy current in the eastern Jakarta Bay.

Trajectory of microplastic particles with 2-dimensional hydrodynamic modelling approach at Pekalongan waters, Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers used two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling to track how microplastic particles move through the waters near Pekalongan, Central Java, Indonesia. They found that tidal currents and seasonal monsoon patterns significantly influence microplastic transport and accumulation near fishing grounds. The study provides a tool for predicting microplastic hotspots that could help guide marine debris management in the region.
Modeling the fate of microplastics in the Sengkarang Estuary, Pekalongan City, Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic concentrations in water and sediment at the mouth of the Sengkarang River in Indonesia and built a hydrodynamic model to track how tidal currents, wind, and river flow distribute the particles. Microplastics were highest in coastal waters and mangrove sediments, with tides and currents driving horizontal transport and concentrating particles in biologically sensitive habitats. The modeling approach offers a practical framework for predicting where microplastics accumulate and informing pollution management in river-to-sea systems.
