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.
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.
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.
The presence of microplastics in Surabaya coastal area and its correlation with conventional water quality parameters
Researchers measured microplastic presence in coastal waters of Surabaya, Indonesia, and examined correlations with marine biodiversity indicators. Elevated microplastic concentrations were associated with reduced diversity of benthic organisms at contaminated sites.
Studies on Microplastics Morphology Characteristics in the Coastal Water of Makassar City, South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Researchers characterized microplastics in the coastal waters of Makassar City, Indonesia, finding a variety of shapes, colors, and polymer types. The study highlights the extent of microplastic contamination in a densely populated Southeast Asian coastal area.
Abundance and Characteristics of Microplastics in Surface Waters of Banten Bay, Serang, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic concentrations in surface waters of Banten Bay, Indonesia, across five sampling sites representing different human activities. They found concentrations ranging from 0.12 to 1.03 particles per liter, with fragments and fibers being the most common types, primarily made of polypropylene and polyethylene. The study links microplastic prevalence to domestic waste and human activities in the surrounding area.
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.
Microplastic Contamination in Marine Fish and Shells in the Coastal Areas of Jember Regency, Indonesia
Researchers detected microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tracts of marine fish and shellfish from coastal Jember, Indonesia, finding fibers, fragments, granules, and filaments, with contamination levels varying by species and location.
The presence of microplastics in the Indonesian environment and its effects on health
This systematic review examines microplastic contamination across Indonesian environments, including water, soil, and seafood. The findings confirm that microplastics are present throughout the country's ecosystems and may affect human health through contaminated food and water, which is especially concerning for coastal communities that rely heavily on seafood.
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.
Mikroplastik dalam Seafood dari Pantai Utara Jawa
This study found microplastics in seafood collected from the northern coast of Java, including multiple species of fish and shellfish. The results indicate widespread microplastic contamination in seafood from this densely populated coastal region, raising concerns about human dietary exposure.
Abundance of Microplastics and Hazard to the Environment in Estuary Water in Pemalang, Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic abundance and types at five sampling locations in the estuary waters of the Pemalang River in Central Java, Indonesia, finding persistent microplastic hazards driven by local human activities and plastic waste inputs.
Analysis of Microplastics in Water and Biofilm Matrices in Metro River, East Java, Indonesia
Researchers detected microplastics in both water and biofilm matrices across three stations of the Metro River in East Java, Indonesia, with the industrial activity station showing the highest contamination, and fibers being the most common particle shape identified.

The spatial distribution and physico-chemical characteristic of microplastics in the sediment and cockle (Anadara granosa) from the coastal waters of East Java, Indonesia, and the health hazards associated with cockle consumption
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in coastal sediments and cockles along the East Java coast of Indonesia and assessed the potential health risks from consuming the shellfish. They found microplastics, predominantly fibers and fragments, in all sediment and cockle tissue samples, with consumers potentially ingesting tens of thousands of microplastic particles per year. The findings raise concerns about dietary microplastic exposure for communities that regularly eat shellfish from these waters.

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.
Characteristics of microplastics pollution in important commercial coastal seafood of Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in three commercially important seafoods from coastal Indonesia — milkfish, blood cockles, and green mussels — finding that all three contained plastic particles, with green mussels carrying the highest load at an average of 71 particles per individual. The variety of polymer types detected, including rubber and styrene compounds, confirms that microplastics are entering the human food chain through commonly consumed seafood.
