ClearAlternative Conservation Paradigms and Ecological Knowledge of Small-Scale Artisanal Fishers in a Changing Marine Scenario in Argentina
Researchers used ethnographic interviews to document the ecological knowledge and conservation paradigms of small-scale artisanal fishers in Argentina's Bahía Blanca Estuary, finding that fishers held a communalist worldview and detailed knowledge of climate-driven and pollution-related changes that could meaningfully inform co-management strategies.
Fish—To Eat or Not to Eat? A Mixed-Methods Investigation of the Conundrum of Fish Consumption in the Context of Marine Pollution in Indonesia
Researchers investigated the dilemma of fish consumption in Indonesia amid marine pollution, using mixed methods to explore sociodemographic factors and perceptions that influence whether people continue eating fish despite contamination concerns.
Integrating Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Environmental Science for Sustainable Lake Conservation: Danu Kerthi in Bali
Researchers investigated how the Danu Kerthi philosophy integrates traditional ecological knowledge with environmental science to support sustainable conservation of three upstream lakes in Bali (Beratan, Buyan, and Tamblingan). Through qualitative multi-site fieldwork with 30 participants, the study found that this traditional framework continues to function as an effective ethical and governance system for lake ecosystems, though empirical evidence of its ecological effectiveness had been previously limited.
Analysis of Fishermen's Basic Skills Training With A Computer-Based SECI Knowledge Management Approach
This Indonesian study explored how traditional and formal fisheries knowledge interacts with innovation among fishing communities. The research focuses on sustainable fisheries management and community education rather than microplastics, though plastic pollution in Indonesian fisheries is an ongoing challenge.
Coastal Community Perceptions of Waste Management as an Effort to Maintain Marine Sustainability in Tapanuli Tengah Regency, North Sumatera
Researchers assessed coastal community perceptions of waste management and marine sustainability in Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra, using a mixed-methods survey of 100 respondents across three villages. Results showed an average agreement rate of 91.16% on the importance of waste management for marine sustainability, though practical waste utilisation capacity for income generation remained limited.
Coastal Resource-Based Entrepreneurship: A Strategy to Improve the Quality of Life of Coastal Area Communities
Researchers conducted descriptive qualitative research in the Untia Fishermen Village in Makassar City to assess how coastal resource-based entrepreneurship strategies could improve quality of life for coastal communities. Through interviews with five informants, the study found that communities lacked knowledge of entrepreneurship and resource processing, identifying education and empowerment as key pathways to sustainable livelihoods.
Tangled Waters: Equity-based Study of Plastic Pollution Impacts on Indigenous Communities in Fiji
Researchers examined the impacts of plastic pollution on Indigenous communities at three case study locations in Fiji, blending Indigenous knowledge systems with contemporary research methods and equity frameworks to assess distributional, procedural, and recognitional dimensions of plastic pollution. The year-long fieldwork-based study found that plastic pollution disproportionately burdens Indigenous communities and recommended improved waste management solutions grounded in community agency.
Pesca artesanal à luz da fome e dos objetivos do Milênio
This essay examines inconsistencies in the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals as they relate to artisanal fishing communities in Brazil, arguing that traditional morphofunctional classifications of artisanal fisheries have silenced coastal communities and excluded them from marine governance. The author calls for greater integration of traditional ecological knowledge into fisheries management and ocean protection frameworks.
Wisdom Local Tegal City Communities in the Modernization Era and Strategies to Maintain It
This study documents the local ecological wisdom of indigenous communities in Tegal City, Indonesia, examining how traditional environmental knowledge and practices are being challenged by modernization. The authors identify strategies for preserving this knowledge as part of broader efforts to maintain cultural identity and sustainable land management.
Can Coral Reef Restoration Programmes Facilitate Changes in Environmental Attitudes? A Case Study on a Rural Fisher Community in North Bali, Indonesia
This paper is not directly about microplastics — it is a qualitative study of how a coral reef restoration programme in north Bali, Indonesia influenced environmental attitudes and waste management behaviors among local fishing communities.
Sustainability Status of Pond Aquaculture in Tambakbulusan Village on Social or Cultural Dimension and Legal or Institutional Dimension
This paper is not about microplastics — it assesses the social, cultural, legal, and institutional sustainability dimensions of aquaculture pond management in an Indonesian village.
A Mixed-Method Approach for Quantifying Illegal Fishing and Its Impact on an Endangered Fish Species
A study in Lake Hovsgol National Park, Mongolia combined surveys and interviews to document widespread illegal gillnet fishing and its impact on an endangered endemic fish species. The research is focused on fisheries conservation rather than microplastics.
Analyzing scenarios and designing initiatives toward just transitions: coproducing knowledge with(in) the dried fish sector in the Indian Sundarbans
Researchers applied participatory foresight methods to co-produce knowledge with fish drying collectives in the Indian Sundarbans, analyzing scenarios for just transitions in the face of overlapping social, ecological, and governance risks threatening this food-producing community.
Fisherfolk’s Perception of and Attitude to Solid Waste Disposal: Implications for Health, Aquatic Resources, and Sustainable Development
This study explored how fisherfolk in a Ghanaian coastal community perceive solid waste disposal, finding that despite recognizing waste as undesirable, entrenched practices and limited infrastructure perpetuate aquatic pollution with implications for public health and sustainable development.
Productivity and Environmental Friendliness Evaluation of Circular Net Fishing Gear in West Java
This Indonesian study evaluated the productivity and environmental impact of circular net fishing gear used in West Java, assessing its compliance with sustainability standards. Fishing gear design directly affects how much plastic is lost to or shed into marine environments as microplastics.
Mapping research gaps for sustainable forest management based on the nominal group technique
Researchers used the nominal group technique — involving both academic and non-academic stakeholders — to map research gaps in sustainable management of the Matang mangrove forest in Malaysia, identifying knowledge priorities across social-ecological system components to guide resource-limited research allocation.

The socio-economic effect on microplastic pollution of boiled salted fish
This Indonesian study investigated microplastic contamination in boiled salted fish, a traditional food product, and explored how socioeconomic factors of the people producing and selling the fish related to contamination levels. Microplastics were found in fish samples, and socioeconomic factors influenced exposure risk. The findings are relevant to food safety and human microplastic ingestion through traditional fish products.
Analysis of Waste Bank Management Model Around Lake Tondano Tourism Object in Supporting Sustainable Tourism Development
Researchers qualitatively studied the waste bank management model operating around Lake Tondano tourism sites in Sulawesi, Indonesia, examining how the system functions as a mechanism for sustainable tourism development and plastic waste reduction. They found that while waste banks provide a community-based framework for plastic collection and recycling, gaps in coverage and participation limit their effectiveness in preventing plastic from entering the lake ecosystem, including via microplastic pathways into fish.
