ClearAssessing Coastal Erosion and Climate Change Adaptation Measures: A Novel Participatory Approach
This paper is not about microplastics; it presents a participatory framework for assessing and planning coastal erosion mitigation and climate change adaptation measures, applied to a Portuguese municipality.
Affecting Factors on Community Based Mangrove Replantation Programs in Semarang Coastal Area
This study examined community-based mangrove replanting programs in Semarang, Indonesia, exploring how climate change and stakeholder dynamics affect participation. It is an environmental management study not focused on microplastics.
City Branding Againts Climate Change and Health Disruption in Prone Region: Initial Study From Semarang Citizen’s Dealing With Specific Waste Management on Pandemic Covid-19.
Not relevant to microplastics — this study examines citizen attitudes toward COVID-19 waste management in Semarang, Indonesia, as a proxy for city resilience and branding in the context of climate change.
Understanding plastic-dependent urban coastal communities: Plastic handling practices and perceptions of urban villages of Iligan City, Philippines
Researchers examined awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of marine macro- and microplastic pollution among 70 coastal community residents in Iligan City, Philippines, finding that despite general awareness, plastic handling practices remained inconsistent with pollution reduction goals.
Blue Carbon and Microplastic Sequestration in Coastal Habitats of the Philippines
This study documents rates of organic carbon and microplastic sequestration in Philippine coastal vegetated habitats, using high-resolution sediment cores to reconstruct historical pollution inputs and assess the potential of blue carbon ecosystems for climate mitigation and contaminant storage.
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.
Extreme Weather Changes and Their Impact on Marine and Terrestrial Ecosystems in Banten Province
This study assessed the combined impacts of climate change extremes and microplastic pollution on marine and terrestrial ecosystems in Banten Province, Indonesia, finding that sea-level rise, mangrove degradation, and microplastic contamination are compounding ecological stressors.
Systematic review of ecological research in Philippine cities: assessing the present status and charting future directions
This systematic review of 105 ecological studies in Philippine cities found that research is concentrated in Metropolitan Manila and relies heavily on survey questionnaires and remote sensing techniques. The findings highlight gaps in understanding how rapid urbanization in developing countries affects local ecosystems, which is relevant to microplastic pollution since fast-growing cities are major sources of plastic waste.
Efforts to Increase Public Awareness About Microplastic Hazards in Communities at the Coastal Beach of Padang
Community outreach activities in Padang, Indonesia, aimed to raise public awareness about the hazards of microplastics, particularly at coastal beaches where plastic waste accumulates. The study documents how environmental education programs can build local capacity for addressing plastic pollution.
Economic and Ecological Impacts of Climate Change on Coastal Fisheries: A Global Analysis of Vulnerability and Adaptive Management Strategies
Researchers conducted a global analysis of how climate change compounds existing threats to coastal fisheries, including pollution from microplastics and other anthropogenic stressors. The study evaluated vulnerability across regions and assessed adaptive management strategies. The findings suggest that integrated approaches addressing both climate and pollution pressures are needed to sustain coastal fisheries.
Citizen Science in the Philippines: Coastal biodiversity engagements on a small island
This paper is not directly about microplastics; it surveys public participation in citizen science projects on a small Philippine island, focusing on coastal biodiversity conservation and volunteerism patterns by gender and age.
Effect of community participation on sustainable development: an assessment of sustainability domains in Malaysia
This paper is not relevant to microplastics — it investigates how community participation in coral reef conservation programs affects sustainable development outcomes in Malaysia.
Importance of Blue Carbon in Mitigating Climate Change and Plastic/Microplastic Pollution and Promoting Circular Economy
This review highlighted the importance of blue carbon ecosystems in mitigating both climate change and microplastic pollution, emphasizing how mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes can sequester carbon while trapping plastic debris and promoting circular economy principles.
Synergistic Impact of Complex Topography and Climate Variability on the Loss of Microclimate Heterogeneity in Southeast Asia
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper analyzes how topography and climate variability have driven declining microclimate heterogeneity in Southeast Asia between 1982 and 2017, with implications for regional biodiversity.
The Microplastic Existence in Ecosystem of Semi-arid Coastal Area, Kupang City: A Literature Review
This literature review assesses the state of microplastic contamination in the marine environment around Kupang City, Indonesia, a semi-arid coastal area, compiling evidence of microplastic presence and potential health hazards from existing studies.
Costal Poverty and Vulnerability Dynamics
This review synthesizes evidence on poverty and vulnerability dynamics in coastal communities, highlighting how dependence on natural resources increases susceptibility to environmental changes and marine pollution including microplastics. The authors identify how climate change and pollution compound livelihood insecurity in remote coastal areas.
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.
Addressing the Invisible Threat
This paper examines microplastic contamination in the Philippines, identifying gaps in research, waste management infrastructure, and public awareness that limit effective policy responses, and advocating for evidence-based strategies that coordinate scientific research with regulation and community education.
Assessment of Microplastic Pollution Load and Ecological Risk Index in Surface Water and Sediment Matrices in the Mangrove Ecosystem along Butuan Bay, Southern Philippines
Researchers assessed microplastic pollution loads and ecological risk indices in surface water and sediment of mangrove ecosystems along Butuan Bay in the Southern Philippines, finding Buenavista had the highest MP concentrations among the three sampled sites.
Climate Change and Current Adaptation Strategies in the Haor Areas
This paper is not about microplastic pollution. It examines how climate change affects fishers in the haor wetland areas of Bangladesh, documenting impacts like altered rainfall patterns, natural disasters, and disease emergence, along with the adaptation strategies fishers use to cope.
Plastics in blue carbon ecosystems: a call for global cooperation on climate change goals
Researchers warn that plastic pollution is increasingly accumulating in coastal blue carbon ecosystems — tidal marshes, mangroves, and seagrass meadows — which are critical carbon sinks, and argue that plastic-related carbon emissions must be factored into global climate goals before growing plastic stocks undermine these vital ecosystems.
Assessment of Microplastics in the Surface Water of Sitio Pulo, Navotas, Metro Manila
Researchers sampled microplastics from coastal and lagoon surface waters at Sitio Pulo, a mangrove sanctuary in Navotas City, Metro Manila. Microplastic particles were isolated and characterized from both water types. The study highlights that even protected mangrove areas adjacent to densely populated urban coastlines are contaminated with microplastics.
Perception and Awareness of Marine Plastic Pollution in Selected Tourism Beaches of Barobo, Surigao del Sur, Philippines
