First Evidence of Microplastics Presence in Coralsof Jepara Coastal Waters, Java Sea: A ComparisonAmong Habitats Receiving Different Degreesof Sedimentations

Researchers found microplastics inside coral tissues collected from Jepara coastal waters in the Java Sea — one of the first such reports for Indonesian coral reefs. Corals in areas with higher sedimentation contained more microplastics, suggesting sediment transport plays a role in microplastic accumulation. The findings raise concerns about coral reef health under combined microplastic and sedimentation stress.
