ClearEconomic and Ecological Impacts of Climate Change on Coastal Fisheries: A Global Analysis of Vulnerability and Adaptive Management Strategies
Researchers conducted a global analysis of how climate change compounds existing threats to coastal fisheries, including pollution from microplastics and other anthropogenic stressors. The study evaluated vulnerability across regions and assessed adaptive management strategies. The findings suggest that integrated approaches addressing both climate and pollution pressures are needed to sustain coastal fisheries.
Assessing the Impact of Microplastic Pollution on Coastal Ecosystems: a Multidimensional Environmental Approach
This review presents a comprehensive multidimensional analysis of microplastic pollution in coastal ecosystems, examining how microplastics alter sediment dynamics, disrupt marine food webs, and interact synergistically with heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants to create a complex environmental crisis requiring integrative management solutions.

Microplastic pollution in a rapidly changing world: Implications for remote and vulnerable marine ecosystems
Researchers reviewed the growing body of evidence on microplastic pollution reaching remote and vulnerable marine ecosystems far from major human activities. The study highlights that these ecosystems, already under stress from climate change, face additional threats from microplastic contamination whose long-term biological and ecological effects remain poorly understood.
Assessing the Impact of Microplastic Pollution on Coastal Ecosystems: a Multidimensional Environmental Approach
This review presents a comprehensive multidimensional analysis of microplastic pollution in coastal ecosystems, covering sources, distribution pathways, ecological effects on marine organisms, and implications for environmental management. The authors draw on recent interdisciplinary research to assess how microplastics infiltrate nearly every ecological compartment from coastal waters to ocean sediments and interact with biological and chemical systems.
Navigating the nexus: climate dynamics and microplastics pollution in coastal ecosystems
This review examines how climate change and microplastic pollution interact in coastal ecosystems, finding that rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and stronger storms are spreading microplastics further and faster into marine environments. These climate-driven changes also accelerate plastic breakdown into smaller, more dangerous particles that are more easily absorbed by marine life. The combination of worsening climate conditions and increasing plastic pollution poses a growing threat to both coastal ecosystems and the millions of people who depend on them for food.
Insightful analytical review of potential impacts of microplastic pollution on coastal and marine ecosystem services
This analytical review assessed how microplastic debris disrupts ecological functions of marine and coastal habitats, including mangroves and seagrass ecosystems, identifying critical knowledge gaps around microbial impacts and calling for coordinated global research on supporting ecosystem services most vulnerable to microplastic interference.
When Plastics Dominate the Seas: a Study of the Threat to Coastal Community Development from Plastic Waste
This qualitative study investigated the ecological, health, and economic impacts of plastic pollution on coastal communities in the Riau Islands, Indonesia, focusing on effects on marine ecosystems and fishermen's livelihoods. Plastic waste was found to threaten fish stocks and fishing income, illustrating how marine plastic pollution directly undermines coastal community development.
Literature Review: Dampak Mikroplastik Terhadap Lingkungan Pesisir, Biota Laut dan Potensi Risiko Kesehatan
This literature review examines the impacts of microplastic pollution on coastal environments, marine life, and potential human health risks. Researchers compiled evidence showing that microplastics accumulate throughout marine food chains and can carry harmful chemicals and pathogens. The study highlights concerns about metabolism disruption, neurotoxicity, and increased health risks associated with microplastic exposure, underscoring the need for more research and policy action.
A systematic review and scientometrics analysis on microplastic pollution on coastal beaches around the globe
This systematic review analyzes microplastic pollution on coastal beaches worldwide. The research found that beach contamination varies widely by region but is present on virtually every coastline studied. This matters because beaches are not just recreational areas but also habitats where microplastics can enter marine food webs and eventually reach people through seafood consumption.
Towards Understanding Drivers of Plastic Embrittlement and Fragmentation in Coastal Environments
This review examines the physical and chemical drivers of plastic fragmentation in coastal environments, including UV radiation, mechanical wave action, temperature fluctuations, and oxidation. The authors find that coastal environments produce microplastics faster than open ocean environments due to compounding abiotic stressors, and that fragmentation dynamics shape the size distribution and toxicity profile of coastal plastic pollution.
Dampak Pencemaran Mikroplastik di wilayah Pesisir dan Kelautan
This Indonesian overview examines the problems of microplastic contamination in coastal and marine environments, reviewing the sources, distribution, and ecological effects of plastic pollution. The paper highlights the particular vulnerability of Indonesian coastal areas given high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
Chemical and ecotoxicological assessment of microplastics and emerging risks in the coastal environments
This review examines the chemical composition of microplastics found in coastal environments and assesses their ecotoxicological risks, including the leaching of plastic additives and adsorption of environmental pollutants. It emphasizes the need for better risk assessment frameworks that account for both the particles and their associated chemical contaminants.
Coastal pollution of aquatic systems
This review examined pollution in coastal aquatic systems during the Anthropocene, covering the types of stressors — including plastics, nutrients, and chemicals — and the challenges of monitoring dynamic coastal environments. It emphasizes that coastal systems integrate land-based human impacts and are among the most heavily affected by plastic contamination.
Ocean Plastics: How marine litter shapes the lives of residents of Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Area, Vietnam
This thesis examines how marine plastic litter washing up on beaches affects the daily lives of coastal residents in Vietnam's Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Area. It highlights an overlooked social dimension of plastic pollution, showing that communities in one of the world's top plastic-polluting countries bear direct economic and livelihood consequences from ocean litter.
Microplastics in Marine and Coastal Ecosystems: A Public Health Perspective
This public health-focused review (2010–2025) traces microplastic contamination in marine and coastal ecosystems from early detection studies through mechanistic toxicological research, synthesizing evidence on human exposure pathways through seafood and coastal environment contact.
A review on microplastics pollution in coastal wetlands
Researchers reviewed existing studies on microplastic pollution in coastal wetlands — ecosystems like mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats — summarizing where microplastics accumulate, how they get there, and how they affect wildlife and ecosystem function. These habitats are especially vulnerable because they sit at the boundary between land and sea, trapping plastics carried by both rivers and ocean tides.
Microplastic pollution along the coastal island shorelines of Bangladesh: Distribution, patterns, and abundance
