ClearPlastic Marine Waste and its Potential for Indonesian Indigenous Communities
This article explores the potential for Indonesian indigenous communities to play a role in addressing marine plastic waste, combining traditional ecological knowledge with waste management strategies. It highlights cultural and governance dimensions of plastic pollution responses in coastal Indonesia.
Improving residential plastic waste management strategies for increasing value added to environmental sustainability
Researchers surveyed community awareness and behavior regarding plastic waste management in an Indonesian village, identifying gaps between knowledge and practice. Improving community engagement with proper plastic waste disposal is essential for reducing the plastic entering waterways and eventually becoming microplastics.
Examining awareness, attitudes and behaviours of stakeholders in Irish Fishing towards plastic
Researchers surveyed the Irish fishing community about their awareness and attitudes toward plastic pollution and microplastics, finding that most fishers are aware of the problem and actively remove litter they encounter, but that recycling is hampered by a lack of knowledge and facilities. The study offers the first detailed look at this group's relationship with plastic and points to practical gaps that could be addressed through education and better recycling infrastructure.
Can Coral Reef Restoration Programmes Facilitate Changes in Environmental Attitudes? A Case Study on a Rural Fisher Community in North Bali, Indonesia
This paper is not directly about microplastics — it is a qualitative study of how a coral reef restoration programme in north Bali, Indonesia influenced environmental attitudes and waste management behaviors among local fishing communities.
Bridging the Gap Between Experience-Based Knowledge and the Scientific Knowledge
This paper is not relevant to microplastics; it documents how Norwegian fishers acquire and pass on experience-based knowledge about crab migration patterns, arguing this knowledge is reliable enough to contribute to citizen science.
Impact of training and development on the quality of fish produced: Evidence from fish farmers in Odogbolu, Ogun State, Nigeria
This paper is not relevant to microplastics; it examines the impact of training and education programs on fish farming productivity and fish marketability in Nigeria.
Empowerment of Housewives Group in Sabilambo Village through Training on Making Catfish Meatballs as an Effort to Increase Family Income
This community development paper describes training workshops for homemakers in an Indonesian village on making catfish-based food products to supplement family income. It is not related to microplastics or environmental research.
Relevance of Data Analytics in Sustainable Fisheries Management: an Evidence-based Study
This paper is not about microplastics; it argues for using data analytics tools to improve fisheries management and combat marine water quality decline in coastal communities.
The socio-economic effect on microplastic pollution of boiled salted fish
This Indonesian study investigated microplastic contamination in boiled salted fish, a traditional food product, and explored how socioeconomic factors of the people producing and selling the fish related to contamination levels. Microplastics were found in fish samples, and socioeconomic factors influenced exposure risk. The findings are relevant to food safety and human microplastic ingestion through traditional fish products.
Promoting sustainability and conservation practices through environmental education in Aceh, Indonesia
This paper is not about microplastics; it is a mixed-methods study examining how environmental education programs in Aceh, Indonesia influence sustainability practices and conservation awareness.
Income Realization Concept for Sustaining Fish Balance: An Eco-Ethnomethodology of Fisherman Kawruh Jati
This qualitative eco-ethnomethodological study examined kawruh jati fishermen in Indonesia, analyzing how traditional ecological knowledge informs fish stock balance assessments and the relationship between actual catch and fish availability as a framework for sustainable income.
Establishing a Blueprint for Sustainable Fishing Communities
This paper examines the threats facing small-scale coastal fishing communities—including overfishing, habitat destruction, and plastic/microplastic pollution—and evaluates whether international and local government policies have been effective in promoting sustainable practices. It finds mixed results from existing policy frameworks and argues that community-based management grounded in local knowledge is essential.
Alternative Conservation Paradigms and Ecological Knowledge of Small-Scale Artisanal Fishers in a Changing Marine Scenario in Argentina
Researchers used ethnographic interviews to document the ecological knowledge and conservation paradigms of small-scale artisanal fishers in Argentina's Bahía Blanca Estuary, finding that fishers held a communalist worldview and detailed knowledge of climate-driven and pollution-related changes that could meaningfully inform co-management strategies.
Ocean plastic crisis—Mental models of plastic pollution from remote Indonesian coastal communities
Remote coastal communities in Indonesia are overwhelmed by plastic pollution despite low plastic literacy, largely because rising living standards have increased single-use plastic consumption while geography and poor waste infrastructure leave communities with few disposal options. The study highlights the need for supply-side interventions and better waste management systems, not just consumer education.
Spatial variation of microplastic abundance and types in Bitung coastal waters, North Sulawesi: influence of fishing, residential, and port activities
Researchers sampled surface waters in Bitung coastal waters, North Sulawesi across fishing, residential, and port zones, finding the highest microplastic concentrations near the fishing area and fibers as the dominant morphological type.
Behavior of coastal communities in dealing with microplastic pollution in salt ponds in Cirebon Regency
Researchers analyzed the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of coastal communities in Cirebon Regency, Indonesia regarding microplastic pollution in salt ponds, assessing correlations between community awareness and domestic plastic waste management practices.
Local Wisdom Through Online Short Story Literacy as a Means of Marine Conservation
Researchers investigated the use of online short story literacy rooted in local wisdom as a tool for marine conservation education, documenting how social change has eroded traditional ecological knowledge and exploring digital literacy as a way to revive it. The study demonstrates the potential for combining cultural heritage and digital platforms to promote stewardship of degraded marine ecosystems.
Pelatihan Pemanfaatan Limbah Plastik Menjadi Berbagai Kreasi Daur Ulang Bagi Masyarakat Desa Penyak
This Indonesian community program trained residents of the Bangka Belitung Islands to repurpose plastic waste into recycled crafts, reducing the amount of plastic that enters coastal environments and eventually breaks down into microplastics. Community-based plastic waste management is an important grassroots strategy for reducing marine microplastic pollution.
