ClearThe abundance of Plastic Marine Debris on Beaches in Ambon Bay
Researchers measured plastic marine debris — including large microplastics, mesoplastics, and macroplastics — on two beaches in Ambon Bay, Indonesia. The study provides baseline data on plastic pollution levels in a region with growing coastal populations and limited plastic waste management infrastructure.

This study measured plastic debris density across different size categories in coastal areas of northern Ambon Island, Indonesia, finding all size classes present. The research documents the extent of plastic contamination on Indonesian coasts and provides data for waste management planning.
Kepadatan dan pola transport sampah laut terapung di pesisir barat perairan Teluk Ambon Luar
This Indonesian study measured the density and transport patterns of floating marine litter on the western coast of Outer Ambon Bay, finding high volumes of plastic debris with clear spatial patterns driven by currents and tides. The data can inform placement of debris interception systems in this Indonesian coastal city.
Marine Debris Composition and Abundance: A Case Study of Selected Coastlines in Ujong Karang, Meulaboh, West Aceh
Researchers assessed the composition, characteristics, and abundance of marine debris on two economically active coastlines in West Aceh, Indonesia, comparing a fishing-adjacent beach and a tourism beach to characterize plastic and other waste accumulation patterns in relation to coastal land use activities.
Sampah Laut Yang Terdampar Di Pesisir Pantai Hative Besar Pada Musim Peralihan 1
Researchers surveyed the composition and density of marine debris stranded on the coast of Hative Besar in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, during the first transitional season using a transect sampling method. Plastic was the dominant debris type, comprising 90% of waste at Wailaa beach, among eight identified debris categories including glass, metal, paper, and rubber.
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.
Upaya Peningkatan Kualitas Ekosistem Pesisir dan Laut melalui Kegiatan Coastal Cleanup di Desa Way Lubuk
This Indonesian study documented a coastal cleanup initiative in Way Lubuk village and assessed the composition of marine debris collected. Plastic waste dominated the collected debris, threatening local marine and coastal ecosystems. The project combined community engagement with scientific monitoring to address marine litter at the local level.
Microplastic Identification and Density In Coastal Sediments of Manado Bay
Researchers identified and quantified microplastics in coastal sediments of Manado Bay, documenting the density and polymer types of plastic particles accumulating in the marine environment from anthropogenic activities.
Karakteristik dan Sebaran Sampah Terdampar di Kawasan Pesisir Taman Nasional Bali Barat
This study characterized marine debris washed ashore in a national park in Bali, Indonesia, cataloging the types and distribution of litter across the coastline. The findings highlight how high-population and tourism activity contributes to coastal plastic contamination even in protected conservation areas.
Beach macro-litter monitoring and floating microplastic in a coastal area of Indonesia
Researchers surveyed floating microplastic and beach litter in Cilacap Bay, Indonesia over three years, finding polypropylene and low-density polyethylene dominated plastic debris at 2.5 mg/m concentration, with most particles showing only slight weathering — highlighting persistent pollution from inadequate waste management in the region.
Sources, spatial distribution, and abundance of marine debris on Thondi coast, Palk Bay, Southeast coast of India
Researchers surveyed marine debris abundance and composition on Thondi coast in Palk Bay, India, finding that plastic was the dominant litter type linked to local fishing, aquaculture, and agricultural activities, with seasonal variation in debris loads.
The impact of improper solid waste management to plastic pollution in Indonesian coast and marine environment
Indonesia's plastic pollution problem in coastal and marine environments is largely driven by improper solid waste management on land, with rivers carrying significant plastic loads to the sea. The study emphasizes that improving terrestrial waste collection and disposal infrastructure is essential for reducing Indonesia's substantial contribution to ocean plastic pollution.
Baseline Marine Litter Surveys along Vietnam Coasts Using Citizen Science Approach
Researchers conducted baseline marine litter surveys along Vietnamese coasts using citizen science, documenting over 21,000 litter items dominated by plastics, with single-use items accounting for the majority and litter density varying significantly across coastal regions.
Variations of Marine Debris In Manado Bay and its environs
Surveys of marine debris in Manado Bay and surrounding waters in Indonesia documented the types, sources, and seasonal variation in debris accumulation. Plastic items dominated the debris, originating from land-based sources via rivers and drainage channels. The study provides baseline data for evaluating the effectiveness of government initiatives to reduce marine debris in the region.
