Microplastics were also assessed in sediments, establishing baseline contamination data for this urban mangrove system.
Marine litter in mangroves: composition, magnitude, and impacts
A field and literature review of marine litter accumulation in mangrove ecosystems documented diverse debris types dominated by single-use plastics and fishing gear, with litter altering physical habitat structure and posing ingestion and entanglement risks. Mangroves are highlighted as both a sink for marine litter and an ecosystem whose ecological functions are degraded by it.
Identifikasi Sampah Laut pada Ekosistem Mangrove di Batukaras Kabupaten Pangandaran, Jawa Barat
This Indonesian study identified and categorized marine litter trapped in mangrove roots in West Java, finding predominantly plastic items. Mangroves can capture plastic debris from coastal waters, acting as both sinks and potential sources of microplastics as trapped items slowly degrade.
Impact of mangrove forest structure and landscape on macroplastics capture
Researchers surveyed macroplastic accumulation across seven mangrove forests in the Philippines, finding 1.1 items per square meter on average with the highest abundance at landward zones and near river mouths. Mangrove biomass and root structure were positively correlated with plastic capture, confirming that mangrove structural complexity enhances their ability to trap land-derived plastic litter.
Mangroves as unique but understudied traps for anthropogenic marine debris: A review of present information and the way forward
This review examined mangroves as understudied traps for anthropogenic marine debris, noting that 18 of the top 20 plastic-emitting rivers are associated with mangrove coastlines. Mangroves efficiently accumulate debris through their dense root structures, yet are rarely included in coastal plastic monitoring programs.
Anthropogenic marine debris and its dynamics across peri-urban and urban mangroves on Penang Island, Malaysia
Researchers tracked the accumulation of marine debris in urban and semi-urban mangroves on Penang Island, Malaysia, finding that debris abundance varied with season, tidal patterns, and proximity to urban areas. Mangroves act as debris traps, concentrating plastic waste including microplastics that filter through their root systems.
Size and Types Distribution of Marine Debris in the Mangrove Ecosystem of Bintan Island - Indonesia
Researchers surveyed marine debris — from large items to microplastics — in sediments and gastropods in mangrove ecosystems on Bintan Island, Indonesia. Both macro and microplastics were found throughout the mangrove environment, including in the tissues of marine snails, indicating that mangrove ecosystems serve as sinks for plastic pollution.
Are mangrove ecosystems plastic accumulation zones?
Researchers monitored macroplastic and microplastic pollution across nine mangrove sites on Cebu Island, Philippines, for over a year using paired removal and reference plots, finding that mangrove ecosystems function as significant plastic accumulation zones with differing dynamics between landward and seaward zones.
Analisis Bentuk Mikroplastik pada Sedimen Pantai Mangrove di Kalimantan Barat
Microplastic shapes and compositions were analyzed in mangrove beach sediments in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, finding that 80% of plastic waste entering the coast eventually settles and degrades into microplastic particles concentrated in vegetated mangrove environments.
Marine debris invasion and pollution assessment in mangrove wetlands in the northern South China Sea
Researchers assessed the abundance, accumulation, sources, and fate of marine debris in seven mangrove wetland areas in the northern South China Sea between 2019 and 2020. They found plastics dominated debris (48.34%) with over 70% of all debris weight being land-based and more than 70% originating from coastal and recreational activities.
ACCUMULATION OF MICROPLASTICS (<300 µM) IN MANGROVE SEDIMENTS OF BANDA ACEH CITY, INDONESIA
Researchers measured microplastic accumulation in mangrove sediments in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, finding up to 3,840 particles per kilogram of sediment — with plastic pellets and fibers smaller than 300 micrometers being the most common types — suggesting these coastal ecosystems are acting as significant traps for plastic pollution from nearby land and waterways.
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.
Assessment of marine litter in the mangrove forest in the Ciénaga de Mallorquín, Colombian Caribbean region
This paper is not directly about microplastics; it assesses macro marine litter (including plastic debris) in a Colombian mangrove lagoon, finding that plastics dominate the waste but focusing on litter at scales larger than the microplastic size range.
Seasonal variation in plastic litter pollution in mangroves from two remote tropical estuaries of the Colombian Pacific
Researchers found that plastic litter in two remote Colombian Pacific mangrove estuaries was dominated by microplastics, with higher abundances during high-rainfall seasons in both surface waters and sediments, and foams and fragments being the most common types.
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.
Spatial and vertical distribution of microplastics in mangrove sediment in the southern Philippines
This study mapped microplastic contamination in the sediments of three mangrove forests in Mindanao, Philippines, finding particles at all sites with counts ranging from 83 to 2,250 items per kilogram depending on location. Fragment shapes dominated near one river mouth while fibers dominated at a coastal site, and polypropylene was the most common polymer overall. Microplastic levels and types appeared linked to local economic activity, fishing, and waste management practices. The findings provide baseline data for protecting these ecologically important coastal ecosystems.
