Analisis Cemaran Mikroplastik Di Pesisir Teluk Palu, Sulawesi Tengah
This study measured microplastic contamination in the surface water, water column, and sediments of Palu Bay, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia. Microplastic concentrations were found across all sampled depths, with fibers being the most common type. The results indicate that coastal urbanization is contributing to significant microplastic accumulation in this Indonesian bay.

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.
Concentration, distribution, and characteristics of microplastic in estuary, coast and marine organisms in Indonesia: A Preliminary Review
This preliminary review mapped microplastic concentrations and characteristics in estuaries, coastal sediments, and marine organisms across Indonesia based on published studies. Microplastics were widespread across all compartments studied, with fibers dominant in many locations. The review identifies significant data gaps and calls for more coordinated monitoring to understand Indonesia's marine plastic pollution problem.
Microplastic Contamination in Water and Sediment at Maninjau Lake, Indonesia
Researchers quantified microplastic contamination in surface water and sediment across 10 locations in Maninjau Lake, Indonesia, finding abundances ranging from 65.63 to 195.31 particles/m3 in water and 199.52 to 7,000 particles/kg dry weight in sediment. Fiber, film, fragment, and granule shapes were identified, highlighting contamination risks to a lake critical for water supply, hydroelectric energy, and aquaculture.
Spatial distribution and characteristics of microplastic particles in sediments at Belawan Estuary, North Sumatra Province
Researchers characterized the spatial distribution and properties of microplastic particles in sediments at Belawan Estuary in North Sumatra, Indonesia, providing baseline data on microplastic abundance, morphology, color, and polymer composition at a site with no prior microplastic research to inform future ecological assessments of this estuarine system.
Identification of Microplastics in The Outer Ambon Bay, Mollucas
Researchers identified and quantified microplastic accumulation in water and sediments from Outer Ambon Bay, Maluku, finding that plastic debris fragmented by physical and chemical factors had accumulated in the water column and sediments with potential for ingestion by marine biota.
Microplastics in sediment of Indonesia waters : A systematic review of occurrence, monitoring and potential environmental risks
This systematic review compiles research on microplastic pollution in Indonesian water sediments, finding widespread contamination across the country's rivers, lakes, and coastal areas. Since Indonesia is one of the world's largest archipelago nations, this plastic pollution threatens both marine ecosystems and the seafood that local communities depend on.
Distribution and types of microplastics on the coast of Aipiri and Andai Beaches, Manokwari District, Indonesia
Researchers surveyed two beaches in Manokwari District, Indonesia, finding microplastics distributed across both sites with fragments and films as the dominant types, raising concern about plastic pollution entering coastal marine ecosystems in this biodiversity-rich region.
Identification of microplastics in water in the Sukolilo Coastal Area, Bangkalan Regency, East Java
Researchers sampling coastal waters in Bangkalan, East Java found microplastic concentrations averaging 4.32 particles per liter, with fiber, fragment, and film shapes present in a range of sizes and colors. These elevated levels in a coastal area highlight the ongoing contamination of Indonesian marine environments and the potential for microplastics to enter seafood consumed locally.
Microplastics Contamination in the Aquatic Environment of Indonesia: A Comprehensive Review
This review comprehensively summarized microplastic contamination across Indonesian aquatic ecosystems, finding widespread MP presence in rivers, bays, estuaries, beaches, seas, fish, and shellfish, with the highest contamination in water bodies near urban and industrial areas.
A novel report on the occurrence of microplastics in Pekalongan River Estuary, Java Island, Indonesia
Researchers measured microplastic contamination in water and sediments of the Pekalongan River estuary in Indonesia, finding concentrations of 45.2-99.1 particles/L in water and 0.77-1.01 particles/g in sediment. Polystyrene, polyester, and polyamide were the dominant polymers, with fragments and films smaller than 1 mm accounting for the majority.
Abundance of microplastic in sediment around the west coast of Situbondo, East Java
