ClearMicroplastics as a sedimentary component in reef systems: A case study from the Java Sea
Researchers investigated microplastic distribution in sediments from two tropical atoll reef platforms in Indonesia. The study found that microplastics are a component of reef sediments, with distribution patterns influenced by reef geomorphology and hydrodynamic processes, highlighting the need to better understand how microplastics accumulate in coral reef systems and their potential impacts on reef health.

Microplastic Accumulation in Coral Reef Ecosystems at Peukan Bada District, Aceh Besar
Researchers collected sediment from coral reef sites in Aceh, Indonesia and found microplastics of three types — fibers, films, and fragments — at all locations, with densities ranging from 32 to 68 particles per kilogram. The study found a strong statistical association between microplastic abundance and the health of coral reef cover, suggesting a link between plastic pollution and reef degradation. This provides early evidence that microplastics may be contributing to the decline of coral ecosystems in Indonesian coastal waters.
The correlation between microplastics characteristics and sediment grain size to microplastics accumulation in coral reef sediment in Gede Island, Rembang, Indonesia
Researchers studied microplastic accumulation in coral reef sediments in Indonesia, finding that smaller, denser microplastic fragments — especially near coastlines with human activity — sink and penetrate sediments more readily, with particle size and shape being the strongest predictors of where microplastics end up.
Microplastic Contamination Around Coral Reefs Diving Spot in Tidung Island, Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta
This study measured microplastic contamination in sediments at coral reef dive sites on Tidung Island in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, finding 60 to 340 particles per kilogram. Fibers were the dominant type at all stations, and microplastic abundance may affect coral health in these tourism-dependent ecosystems.
Microplastics in the surface sediments from the eastern waters of Java Sea, Indonesia
Microplastics were found in surface sediments at all five sampling stations in the eastern Java Sea of Indonesia, near areas with heavy fishing and industrial activity. The study adds to documentation of widespread microplastic contamination in Indonesian coastal waters.
Mikroplastik pada Sedimen di Pantai Kartini Kabupaten Jepara Jawa Tengah
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in sediments at Kartini Beach, Jepara, Central Java, collecting samples using purposive sampling at three estuary stations to determine the abundance, distribution, and characteristics of microplastics in this Indonesian coastal environment.
The abundance of microplastics in coral reef ecosystems in the waters of Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar
Researchers measured microplastic abundance in coral reef ecosystems in the waters of Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar, Indonesia. They found microplastics in both sediment and water column samples, with pollution likely originating from tourism, fishing, and domestic waste. The study highlights the threat that microplastic contamination poses to the health and balance of coral reef ecosystems in the region.
Microplastic Occurrence in Different Fish Organs from Two Coastal Waters in Java Sea, Indonesia
Researchers assessed microplastic accumulation in the gut and gill tissues of six economically important fish species from Jakarta Bay and Cirebon Bay in Indonesia. They found microplastics present in all samples, with variations in abundance and polymer type across species and locations. The study raises concerns about the potential transfer of microplastics to human consumers through commercially harvested fish in the Java Sea region.
Contamination of microplastics in tropical coral reef ecosystems of Sri Lanka
Researchers investigated microplastic contamination across ten coral reef ecosystems in Sri Lanka, finding microplastics in corals, water, and sediments with fibers and fragments being the dominant types, representing a previously unquantified threat to tropical reef systems.
The spatial distribution and physico-chemical characteristic of microplastics in the sediment and cockle (Anadara granosa) from the coastal waters of East Java, Indonesia, and the health hazards associated with cockle consumption
Researchers surveyed microplastic contamination in coastal sediments and cockles along the East Java coast of Indonesia and assessed the potential health risks from consuming the shellfish. They found microplastics, predominantly fibers and fragments, in all sediment and cockle tissue samples, with consumers potentially ingesting tens of thousands of microplastic particles per year. The findings raise concerns about dietary microplastic exposure for communities that regularly eat shellfish from these waters.

Microplastic abundance and its relationship with sediment grain size in seagrass and bare flats of Panjang Island, Banten Bay, Indonesia
Researchers surveying Panjang Island in Indonesia's Banten Bay found microplastics throughout both seagrass and bare sediment areas, with finer-grained sediments accumulating more particles. Seagrass beds appeared to trap more microplastics than bare areas, meaning these critical coastal habitats — already under stress — may concentrate plastic pollution and expose the organisms sheltering in them to higher doses.
Microplastics Characteristics in Water and Sediment From Three Ecosystems on Sari Ringgung Beach, Pesawaran Regency, Lampung Province
Researchers sampled water and sediment across mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef ecosystems at an Indonesian beach, finding microplastic contamination in all three habitats with the mangrove ecosystem showing the highest concentrations — up to 467 particles per kilogram of sediment.
