Pencemaran Plastik Di Laut
Summary
This Indonesian-language report reviewed plastic pollution in Indonesia's seas, noting the country is one of the world's top plastic polluters. It examines the environmental impacts on marine organisms and calls for improved waste management and public education to reduce ocean plastic contamination.
PLASTICS POLLUTION IN THE SEA. Indonesia is considered as the second biggest plastic waste producer in the sea. Information on waste pollution and its impact on marine organisms in Indonesia is still limited. Waste disposal and solid waste (plastics) into the sea are continuously occuring; elevating the thoughts of global impact of plastic waste contamination. Increased use of plastic is a consequence of the development of technologies, industries and also the population. This paper is expected to provide knowledge and information of plastics that exist in the sea, especially Indonesian Sea.

Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: State of science and future research directions.
This meta-analysis reviews the state of plastic pollution research in Indonesia, a country identified as one of the top contributors to global plastic waste. The findings highlight significant gaps in data on microplastic contamination in Indonesian waters and ecosystems, which matters because plastic pollution from this region affects global ocean health and the seafood supply chain.
Strategies to Overcome Marine Pollution Caused by Plastic Waste to Protect Marine Environment in Indonesia
This paper reviews plastic pollution in Indonesian marine environments and discusses strategies to reduce it, including improved waste management, education, and policy enforcement. Indonesia is one of the world's largest contributors to ocean plastic waste due to rapid economic growth combined with inadequate waste infrastructure. The authors call for integrated national strategies combining regulatory, technological, and community approaches.
Dampak Pencemaran Mikroplastik di wilayah Pesisir dan Kelautan

The paper highlights the particular vulnerability of Indonesian coastal areas given high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
Plastic pollution research in Indonesia: state of science and future research directions to reduce impacts
This meta-analysis maps the current state of plastic pollution research across Indonesia, one of the world's top sources of ocean plastic waste. It identifies which regions and environments have been studied and where major data gaps remain. The findings can guide targeted research and policy interventions to reduce plastic — and microplastic — contamination in one of the most biodiverse marine regions on Earth.
The impact of improper solid waste management to plastic pollution in Indonesian coast and marine environment
Indonesia's plastic pollution problem in coastal and marine environments is largely driven by improper solid waste management on land, with rivers carrying significant plastic loads to the sea. The study emphasizes that improving terrestrial waste collection and disposal infrastructure is essential for reducing Indonesia's substantial contribution to ocean plastic pollution.
