ClearSpatial distribution of marine debris in mangrove ecosystem of Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta
Researchers surveyed marine debris in the mangrove ecosystem of Pantai Indah Kapuk in Jakarta, finding that plastic items made up 77.7% of all macro debris followed by styrofoam at 18.1%. Microplastics were also assessed in sediments, establishing baseline contamination data for this urban mangrove system.
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.
Identification of marine debris at Avicennia mangrove root in Pangandaran Beach, West Java
This study investigated marine debris trapped by Avicennia mangrove roots at Pangandaran Beach, Indonesia, examining how root structure affects debris capture. Mangrove forests act as natural filters for marine plastic debris, and understanding their trapping efficiency is important for assessing their role in coastal plastic pollution dynamics.
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.
Abundance of Microplastics in Mangrove Sediments on Pari Island, Jakarta Bay, Indonesia
Researchers sampled mangrove sediments on Pari Island in Jakarta Bay in two seasons and identified microplastics by shape, color, size, and polymer type, finding that seasonal variation affected abundance and distribution. The study documents microplastic accumulation in a mangrove ecosystem adjacent to the Indonesian capital.
Profil Pencemaran Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen Ekosistem Mangrove di Pulau Serangan, Bali
Indonesian researchers measured microplastic contamination in mangrove sediments at Serangan Island, Bali, sampling across different depths and land-use types to map the distribution of plastic particles in this coastal ecosystem. Mangroves act as natural plastic traps due to their dense root networks, making them important sentinels for monitoring coastal plastic pollution.
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.
Identifikasi Jenis dan Kelimpahan Sampah Laut pada Kawasan Ekowisata Mangrove Sungai Bersejarah di Desa Kayu Ara Permai Kecamatan Sungai Apit Kabupaten Siak
Researchers identified and quantified marine litter by type, size, number, weight, and density in the Historic River Mangrove Ecotourism Area of Kayu Ara Permai Village, Siak Regency, Indonesia. The study found that plastic waste dominated marine litter abundance, with findings used to assess pollution pressures on the mangrove ecosystem and inform coastal waste management.
Mangrove forests as traps for marine litter
Researchers surveyed 20 mangrove forests along the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf and confirmed that mangroves act as traps for marine plastic litter, with denser forests and proximity to shipping routes linked to higher debris accumulation. The study shows that ocean-based activities, not just land-based sources, are a major driver of plastic buildup in coastal mangrove ecosystems.
Karakteristik Mikroplastik Pada Ekosistem Pesisir Di Kawasan Mangrove Perancak, Bali
This Indonesian study investigated microplastic contamination in a coastal mangrove ecosystem in Perancak, comparing natural and disturbed zones. Mangrove ecosystems can both trap and be harmed by microplastic pollution.
Distribution and retention of microplastics in plantation mangrove forest sediments
Researchers investigated the spatial distribution and retention of microplastics in sediments of plantation mangrove forests, finding that mangrove plantations act as effective sinks for microplastics transported by ocean tides, with particle size and shape influencing where plastics accumulate within the forest structure.
Sampah Plastik di Perairan Pesisir dan Laut : Implikasi Kepada Ekosistem Pesisir Dki Jakarta
This Indonesian-language paper examines the impact of plastic waste on coastal and marine ecosystems in Jakarta, including effects on mangrove ecosystems where plastic can cover seedlings. It reviews government efforts to manage plastic waste in a region with extensive coastal and island territories.
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.
Composition and Density of Macro Marine Debris in the Mangrove Area of Keramat Village Mananggu Sub-district Boalemo Regency
Researchers assessed the composition and density of macro marine debris in a mangrove area of Boalemo Regency, Indonesia. Plastic waste was the predominant debris type, posing a threat to the mangrove ecosystem and its biodiversity. The study provides baseline data for monitoring and managing marine debris in coastal Indonesian communities.
Role of mangrove forest in interception of microplastics (MPs): Challenges, progress, and prospects
This review examines how mangrove forests intercept and accumulate microplastics from terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric sources, identifying knowledge gaps in understanding the mechanisms, ecological impacts, and long-term fate of trapped microplastics in mangrove ecosystems.
