ClearAbundance 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.
Microplastic Distribution in Beach Sediments: Comparison Between the North and South Waters of East Java Island, Indonesia
Researchers compared microplastic concentrations in beach sediments on the north (Java Sea) versus south (Indian Ocean) sides of eastern Java Island, Indonesia, finding higher levels on the northern beaches that are closer to major population centers and shipping lanes. Fiber shapes and blue color dominated across all sites, and concentrations ranged from about 55 to 103 particles per kilogram. The study highlights how local population density, coastal morphology, and ocean current patterns together shape where microplastics accumulate on tropical beaches.
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.
Development of Microplastic Research in Indonesia
This systematic review maps the development of microplastic research across Indonesia, documenting studies conducted on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. The findings reveal that microplastic contamination has been detected in Indonesian waters, sediments, and marine organisms, which is concerning given that Indonesia is one of the world's top contributors to ocean plastic pollution.
Microplastic Abundance in Sediment in Pangandaran Waters, West Java, Indonesia
This study measured microplastic abundance in sediments across Pangandaran waters, finding highest concentrations of fibers and fragments near tourism-affected coastal zones and identifying particle size (106–250 µm) as the dominant fraction retained in sediments. Oceanographic factors including waves, tides, and currents were identified as the primary mechanisms controlling microplastic distribution across the sampling sites.
Assessment of microplastic abundance in Central Java coastal waters: a study of Sendang Sikucing, Karangjahe, and Caruban Beaches
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.
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.
Identification of Microplastic Abundance in Indonesia's Coastal Regions: A Review
This review assessed microplastic abundance across Indonesia's coastal regions, synthesizing studies from rivers, seas, and lakes to document the extent of MP pollution in this archipelago nation with high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
Microplastics in the surface sediments from the eastern waters of Java Sea, Indonesia
Microplastics were found in surface sediments at all five sampling stations in the eastern Java Sea of Indonesia, near areas with heavy fishing and industrial activity. The study adds to documentation of widespread microplastic contamination in Indonesian coastal waters.
The Occurrence and Distribution of Microplastic in Sediment of the Coastal Waters of Bengkalis Island Riau Province
This study documented the occurrence and distribution of microplastics in coastal sediments in Indonesia, finding particles widely distributed across sampling sites with varying concentrations by location. The results add to growing evidence of microplastic contamination in Southeast Asian coastal environments.
Microplastics in sediment of Indonesia waters : A systematic review of occurrence, monitoring and potential environmental risks
This systematic review compiles research on microplastic pollution in Indonesian water sediments, finding widespread contamination across the country's rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Since Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelago nations, this plastic pollution threatens both marine ecosystems and the seafood that local communities depend on.
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.
Status and Research Gaps of Microplastics Pollution in Indonesian Waters: A Review
This review synthesizes the first national-scale assessment of microplastic research in Indonesian marine environments from 2015 to 2022, evaluating environmental risk and waste management implications across the archipelago. The authors found that research is concentrated in western Indonesia (particularly Java), focused almost exclusively on coastal rather than deep-sea environments (98% vs 2%), with data comparability hampered by inconsistent methodological quality across approximately 67% of studies.
Microplastic abundance and distribution in surface water and sediment collected from the coastal area
Researchers found microplastics in both surface water and sediments across 12 coastal sampling sites in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, documenting their abundance, distribution patterns, and morphological characteristics in a heavily urbanized tropical coastal environment.
Tiny and Everywhere: Microplastic Density and Distribution in Sediments along the West Coast of Lombok Island, Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics in sediments along the entire west coast of Lombok Island, Indonesia, with fibers being the most common type. The study documents widespread microplastic contamination in a region previously unstudied, raising concerns for local marine life and fishing communities.
Microplastic Contaminant in Indonesia: A review on Debris, Exposure, Health Risk and Future Perspective
This Indonesian review collates data on microplastic contamination across the country's marine and coastal environments, documenting debris in fish, shellfish, and seawater, and assessing exposure and health risks for the Indonesian population. Given Indonesia's status as one of the world's largest sources of ocean plastic waste, the findings underscore both local exposure risks and the country's critical role in global microplastic pollution.
