The Relationship Between Macroplastic and Large-microplastic Abundance in the Northern Coastal Region of West Peninsular Malaysia

This study examined the relationship between macroplastic litter and large microplastic particles on beaches in the northern coastal region of Peninsular Malaysia, finding a positive correlation between the two. Macroplastic debris on beaches is a direct source of microplastics as it breaks down under UV exposure and physical abrasion.

Marine Macro- and Micro Plastic Litter on Beach Sediment of Northern Peninsular Malaysia

A survey of beaches on Malaysia's northern Peninsular coast found abundant macro- and microplastic litter in sediments, with a correlation between the amount of macroplastic debris and microplastic concentration in the same area. The findings suggest that reducing visible plastic litter on beaches would also reduce the microplastic load accumulating in coastal sediments, where it can persist and affect marine organisms for decades.

Microplastic 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.
