ClearMicroplastic Distribution in Sediments in Coastal of Pariaman City, West Sumatera Province
Indonesian researchers surveyed microplastic distribution in sediments along the coast of Pariaman City, West Sumatra, finding plastic particles throughout the study area. Higher concentrations near tourism areas and residential zones suggest that local human activities are the primary sources of coastal microplastic contamination.
Marine Debris Composition and Abundance: A Case Study of Selected Coastlines in Ujong Karang, Meulaboh, West Aceh
Researchers assessed the composition, characteristics, and abundance of marine debris on two economically active coastlines in West Aceh, Indonesia, comparing a fishing-adjacent beach and a tourism beach to characterize plastic and other waste accumulation patterns in relation to coastal land use activities.
Identification of Anorganic Waste in Sebalang Beach and Tanjung Selaki Beach, Tarahan Village, Subdistrick Katibung, Lampung Selatan District
Researchers surveyed inorganic waste type, weight, and density distributions at two beaches in Lampung Selatan, Indonesia (Sebalang and Tanjung Selaki) along 100-meter shoreline transects at high and low tide between March and April 2020, finding differences in waste composition and density between the two sites linked to oceanographic parameters including currents and waves.
Komposisi Dan Kepadatan Sampah Laut Pada Tiga Bagian Dari Pantai Mangatasik Kecamatan Tombariri Kabupaten Minahasa
This paper is not about microplastics — it surveys the composition and density of meso- and macro-scale marine debris on a tourist beach in Indonesia, cataloguing litter types but not examining microplastic-scale particles or health effects.
The abundance of Plastic Marine Debris on Beaches in Ambon Bay
Researchers measured plastic marine debris — including large microplastics, mesoplastics, and macroplastics — on two beaches in Ambon Bay, Indonesia. The study provides baseline data on plastic pollution levels in a region with growing coastal populations and limited plastic waste management infrastructure.
Abundance and Characteristics of Microplastics in Coastal Sediment and Seawater Collected from Surabaya and Tulungagung
Microplastic abundance in seawater and coastal sediments from two East Java sites differed significantly — Surabaya (north coast) showed 2,100 particles/m³ in water vs. 170 particles/m³ in Tulungagung (south coast) — with fragment and fiber types dominant at both sites.
Analysis of Weight, Composition, Density, and Recycling Potential of Floating Marine Debris in Pasie Nan Tigo Area, Padang City
This Indonesian study analyzed the weight, composition, and recycling potential of floating marine debris collected in Padang City coastal waters. Plastic was found to dominate the floating debris, and the study assessed which materials could be recovered through recycling programs to reduce marine plastic pollution.
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 microplastic in sediment around the west coast of Situbondo, East Java
Microplastic abundance was surveyed in beach sediments along the west coast of Situbondo, East Java, Indonesia, finding contamination at all seven sampled beaches with patterns reflecting local plastic use, waste management, and oceanographic transport.
Marine Tourism Suitability Index in the Padang Beach Tourism Area, West Sumatra
Researchers assessed the suitability of beach tourism conditions at Padang Beach, West Sumatra, to support sustainable marine tourism practices. The study highlights how increased tourist activity can contribute to anthropogenic pollution, including plastic waste, in coastal environments.
Marine Debris Accumulation on the Beach in Libong, a Small Island in Andaman Sea, Thailand
Researchers cataloged marine debris on beaches of Libong Island, Thailand, collecting samples over four months in 2019. Ceramic and glass debris were most abundant, followed by plastic, with fishing activities and ocean currents identified as the primary sources rather than the island's own population.
Sampah Laut Yang Terdampar Di Pesisir Pantai Hative Besar Pada Musim Peralihan 1
Researchers surveyed the composition and density of marine debris stranded on the coast of Hative Besar in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, during the first transitional season using a transect sampling method. Plastic was the dominant debris type, comprising 90% of waste at Wailaa beach, among eight identified debris categories including glass, metal, paper, and rubber.
Karakteristik Sampah Makroplastik di Pantai Wisata Lamaru Kota Balikpapan
Not relevant to microplastics — this Indonesian study characterizes the types and weight of macroplastic debris on a tourist beach in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan, comparing debris between two seasons; it focuses on large plastic litter rather than microplastics.
Microplastic Abundance in Sediment in Pangandaran Waters, West Java, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic abundance in sediments at multiple stations in Pangandaran waters, West Java, Indonesia, finding the highest counts at station 2 (12,622 particles, mostly fibers and fragments) and the lowest at station 4 (1,809 particles). The study identifies oceanographic factors — currents, waves, and tides — as key drivers of microplastic movement and accumulation patterns in coastal Indonesian waters.
Marine Litter and Grading of the Coastal Areas of Ambon Bay, Indonesia
Researchers assessed marine litter quantity and composition in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, finding higher debris densities in the inner bay near populated areas with plastics comprising the dominant fraction, and proposed a grading system for coastal pollution assessment.
Preliminary Study of Marine Debris from Selected Beaches in Malaysia
Researchers conducted a preliminary survey of marine debris type, abundance, and distribution at two Malaysian beaches -- Pantai Redang and Pantai Senok -- finding over 1,000 debris items at each site, with HDPE as the most common macrodebris. A questionnaire survey revealed that fewer than 9% of respondents felt fully responsible for marine debris, and chi-square analysis identified significant differences in factors contributing to pollution at each site.
Plastic debris (> 500µm) concentration gradient detected across the Southwest Indian Ocean
Researchers investigated plastic debris concentration and composition across the Southwest Indian Ocean using 19 oceanographic campaigns and 153 uninhabited beach surveys, identifying a gradient in floating macroplastic distribution and characterizing the sources and polymer types of 101,055 litter items.
Marine debris in tourism area of Dodola Island Beach, Morotai Island District
This paper is not directly about microplastics; it characterizes the composition and density of marine debris on a tourism beach in Morotai Island, Indonesia, documenting the types and quantities of litter including plastics at a macro scale.
Abundance and Distribution of Macro- and Mesoplastic Debris on Selected Beaches in the Northern Strait of Malacca
Macro- and mesoplastic debris surveys at four beaches in the northern Strait of Malacca, Malaysia, found concentrations up to 9.77 g per square meter of macroplastics, dominated by packaging materials, with even a Marine Protected Area site showing significant plastic accumulation.
Occurrence, distribution and composition of microplastics in the sediments of South Andaman beaches
Microplastics were found at all eight sampling stations on beaches of the South Andaman Islands, India, with an average of 414 particles per kilogram of sediment and 13 polymer types identified. Poor solid waste management, tourism, and maritime activity were identified as the main sources.
Beach macro-litter monitoring and floating microplastic in a coastal area of Indonesia
Researchers surveyed floating microplastic and beach litter in Cilacap Bay, Indonesia over three years, finding polypropylene and low-density polyethylene dominated plastic debris at 2.5 mg/m concentration, with most particles showing only slight weathering — highlighting persistent pollution from inadequate waste management in the region.
