Microplastic abundance was surveyed in beach sediments along the west coast of Situbondo, East Java, Indonesia, finding contamination at all seven sampled beaches with patterns reflecting local plastic use, waste management, and oceanographic transport.
Microplastics in Sediments of East Surabaya, Indonesia: Regional Characteristics and Potential Risks
Microplastic occurrence and distribution were characterized for the first time in sediments from 16 sites along urban and mangrove coastal areas of East Surabaya, Indonesia. Microplastic abundances ranged from undetected to 598 items per kilogram, with higher contamination in urban areas and characteristics reflecting mixed local plastic waste sources.
Distribusi Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen Di Perairan Teluk Kendari
This Indonesian study (in Bahasa Indonesia) examined the distribution and abundance of microplastics in sediments from Kendari Bay, finding widespread contamination across sampling sites. The results add to growing evidence of microplastic accumulation in coastal sediment environments in Southeast Asia.
Microplastic Pollution in Indonesia: The Contribution of Human Activity to the Abundance of Microplastics
This systematic review of Indonesian microplastic research found that coastal and marine sediments have the highest microplastic abundances, driven by widespread use of cheap single-use plastics and poor waste management across urban and rural areas.
Linking the Tourism Activity to the Occurrence and Distribution of Microplastics
Researchers assessed microplastic abundance, type, and spatial distribution in coastal water, sediments, and fish across three zones of Gili Trawangan, Indonesia, finding that tourism-related activities concentrated microplastics at recreational beaches with concentrations reaching 19.25 particles/L.
Distribusi mikroplastik pada sedimen di Muara Badak, Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara
An Indonesian study found microplastic fragments, films, and fibers in coastal estuary sediments at multiple stations, including residential and mangrove areas. The results document microplastic contamination in Indonesian coastal sediments and reflect the country's status as one of the world's largest plastic waste producers.
Spatial Distribution and Quantification of Microplastic Contamination in Sediments of Kaliratu Coastal Waters, Kebumen, Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics in sediments along Kaliratu Beach in Indonesia at concentrations of 25–57.5 particles/kg, with fibres, fragments, films, and pellets all present, and used hydrodynamic modelling to trace how seasonal monsoon currents distribute them along the coastline. The findings highlight that even relatively remote Indonesian coastal areas near shrimp ponds and other anthropogenic activity are accumulating measurable plastic pollution.
Abundance and characterization of microplastic pollution in the wildlife reserve, Ramsar site, recreational areas, and national park in northern Jakarta and Kepulauan Seribu, Indonesia
This is the first study to measure microplastic pollution in sediments across protected areas near Jakarta, Indonesia, including a wildlife reserve, a Ramsar wetland site, and a marine national park. Microplastics were found at all locations, with higher concentrations closer to human activity and during the dry season. The results suggest that even designated conservation areas are not spared from microplastic contamination.
Microplastic abundance and distribution in surface water and sediment collected from the coastal area
Researchers found microplastics in both surface water and sediments across 12 coastal sampling sites in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, documenting their abundance, distribution patterns, and morphological characteristics in a heavily urbanized tropical coastal environment.
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.
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.
Occurrence and distribution of microplastics in the beach sediment of Anday Beach, West Papua (Indonesia)
Researchers measured microplastic occurrence and distribution in beach sediments at Anday Beach in West Papua, Indonesia, finding microplastics present across sampling sites. The findings document plastic contamination reaching a relatively remote Indonesian coastal area.
Microplastic Abundance in Sediment in Pangandaran Waters, West Java, Indonesia
This study measured microplastic abundance in sediments across Pangandaran waters, finding highest concentrations of fibers and fragments near tourism-affected coastal zones and identifying particle size (106–250 µm) as the dominant fraction retained in sediments. Oceanographic factors including waves, tides, and currents were identified as the primary mechanisms controlling microplastic distribution across the sampling sites.
Spatial Distribution of Microplastics Abundance Along Selected Beaches in Kelantan, Malaysia
Researchers surveyed ten beaches along the Kelantan coast in Malaysia and found over 1,600 microplastic particles, averaging about 5.4 pieces per gram of sediment, with fragments being the most common type. PVC, polypropylene, and polystyrene were the dominant polymer types, and intertidal zones were the most heavily contaminated areas. The study provides important baseline data on microplastic pollution patterns along these Malaysian coastlines, which can help guide future cleanup and prevention efforts.
Abundance and Characteristics of Microplastics in Coastal Sediment and Seawater Collected from Surabaya and Tulungagung
Microplastic abundance in seawater and coastal sediments from two East Java sites differed significantly — Surabaya (north coast) showed 2,100 particles/m³ in water vs. 170 particles/m³ in Tulungagung (south coast) — with fragment and fiber types dominant at both sites.

Spatial–Vertical Distribution of Microplastics Abundance and Characteristics in the Coastal Waters of Raha City, Muna Regency
Researchers mapped the spatial and vertical distribution of microplastics in the coastal waters of Raha City, Indonesia, sampling at three stations representing different human activity levels. The harbor area showed the highest microplastic abundance, and concentrations were generally higher at the surface and mid-water layers than near the bottom. The study confirms that fisheries and harbor activities, along with river-carried waste, are major sources of microplastic pollution in these coastal waters.
