ClearMicroplastics in Sediments of East Surabaya, Indonesia: Regional Characteristics and Potential Risks
Microplastic occurrence and distribution were characterized for the first time in sediments from 16 sites along urban and mangrove coastal areas of East Surabaya, Indonesia.

Identification of microplastics in water in the Sukolilo Coastal Area, Bangkalan Regency, East Java
Researchers sampling coastal waters in Bangkalan, East Java found microplastic concentrations averaging 4.32 particles per liter, with fiber, fragment, and film shapes present in a range of sizes and colors. These elevated levels in a coastal area highlight the ongoing contamination of Indonesian marine environments and the potential for microplastics to enter seafood consumed locally.
Identifikasi Karakteristik dan Kelimpahan Mikroplastik Pada Sampel Air Kali Surabaya
This Indonesian study characterized microplastic abundance and types in water samples from the Kali Surabaya river in Surabaya. The urban waterway showed widespread plastic contamination, with sources linked to densely populated residential areas along the riverbanks.
Abundance and Types of Microplastics in the Water of Sukaraja
Researchers quantified microplastic abundance and types in the coastal waters of Sukaraja, Indonesia, using random sampling at three stations during high and low tide in April 2021. A total of 3,600 particles/m3 were recorded, with fragments being the most abundant type (1,466 particles/m3) and film the least, with the highest concentrations near the main plastic waste accumulation zone.
Abundance of Microplastics in the Waters of Pelangan Village, West Lombok as an Indicator of Pollution
Researchers measured microplastic abundance in water, sediment, and gastropod samples from three locations in Pelangan Village, West Lombok, Indonesia, finding microplastic contamination in all compartments and establishing baseline pollution levels for this coastal area.
Abundance and characterization of microplastic pollution in the wildlife reserve, Ramsar site, recreational areas, and national park in northern Jakarta and Kepulauan Seribu, Indonesia
This is the first study to measure microplastic pollution in sediments across protected areas near Jakarta, Indonesia, including a wildlife reserve, a Ramsar wetland site, and a marine national park. Microplastics were found at all locations, with higher concentrations closer to human activity and during the dry season. The results suggest that even designated conservation areas are not spared from microplastic contamination.
Characteristics of Microplastics in Water and Fish and Their Relationship with Migration from the East Coast of Surabaya, Indonesia
Researchers characterized microplastic contamination in water and fish from the East Coast of Surabaya, Indonesia, finding approximately 0.46 particles/L in water with fragments (79.9%) and black-colored particles (20-40 µm) dominant, and detecting MPs in gills and digestive tracts of eight fish species.
Spatial–Vertical Distribution of Microplastics Abundance and Characteristics in the Coastal Waters of Raha City, Muna Regency
Researchers mapped the spatial and vertical distribution of microplastics in the coastal waters of Raha City, Indonesia, sampling at three stations representing different human activity levels. The harbor area showed the highest microplastic abundance, and concentrations were generally higher at the surface and mid-water layers than near the bottom. The study confirms that fisheries and harbor activities, along with river-carried waste, are major sources of microplastic pollution in these coastal waters.
Microplastic Pollution in Indonesia: The Contribution of Human Activity to the Abundance of Microplastics
This systematic review of Indonesian microplastic research found that coastal and marine sediments have the highest microplastic abundances, driven by widespread use of cheap single-use plastics and poor waste management across urban and rural areas.
Identifikasi Kelimpahan dan Karakteristik Mikroplastik pada Air Kali Mas, Kota Surabaya
This Indonesian study characterized microplastic abundance and type in water from the Kali Mas river in Surabaya. Plastic fragments and fibers were detected throughout the urban waterway, reflecting the impact of dense residential and commercial activity on local water quality.
Water Pollution Index and Microplastic Ecological Risk in The North Coastal Area of Situbondo
Researchers assessed water quality and microplastic ecological risk across 15 locations along the northern coast of Situbondo, Indonesia, and found mild water pollution throughout the study area. Microplastics were found at all sampling sites, with industrial-adjacent areas and estuaries showing higher ecological risk than natural river locations. The study provides baseline data on the extent of microplastic contamination in an Indonesian coastal region and highlights the need for monitoring near industrial zones.
A novel report on the occurrence of microplastics in Pekalongan River Estuary, Java Island, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in water and sediments of the Pekalongan River estuary in Indonesia, finding concentrations of 45.2-99.1 particles/L in water and 0.77-1.01 particles/g in sediment. Polystyrene, polyester, and polyamide were the dominant polymers, with fragments and films smaller than 1 mm accounting for the majority.

Microplastic surveys at three Central Java coastal beaches in Indonesia found particles in all water samples, with concentrations varying by location and driven by proximity to industrial, tourist, and fishing activities. Fragments, fibers, and films were all detected, and concentrations at one beach exceeded safety thresholds, pointing to localized pollution hotspots that warrant regulatory attention.
