Preliminary Investigation on the Type and Ditribution of Microplastics in the West Coast of Karimun Besar Island
This preliminary study identified and quantified microplastics in beach sediments on the west coast of Karimun Besar Island, Indonesia. Microplastics were detected at all sampling sites, reflecting how nearby human activities are contributing to coastal plastic contamination even at smaller, less-studied islands.
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.
Komposisi dan Kepadatan Mikroplastik di Sedimen Perairan Pulau Los, Kota Tanjungpinang, Kepulauan Riau
Researchers surveyed Los Island's coastal sediments in Tanjungpinang, Indonesia, and found microplastics at all 30 sampling points, with fibers, fragments, and films present in both sandy and muddy substrates. The study documented that plastic waste has penetrated the sediments of this island environment, threatening the benthic organisms that live there. These findings add to growing evidence that even relatively remote Indonesian island coastlines are significantly contaminated with microplastics from land-based and marine sources.
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.
Spatial and temporal distribution of microplastics in the surface waters of Barranglompo Island, Makassar
This study mapped microplastic distribution in the surface waters around Barranglompo Island in Makassar, Indonesia, finding widespread contamination across both space and time. The results highlight the growing threat of microplastic pollution to coastal marine environments in Southeast Asia.
Tiny and Everywhere: Microplastic Density and Distribution in Sediments along the West Coast of Lombok Island, Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics in sediments along the entire west coast of Lombok Island, Indonesia, with fibers being the most common type. The study documents widespread microplastic contamination in a region previously unstudied, raising concerns for local marine life and fishing communities.
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.
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 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.
Spatial and temporal trends of microplastic contamination in surface sediment of Benoa Bay: An urban estuary in Bali-Indonesia
Researchers examined microplastic contamination in sediments of Benoa Bay, an urban estuary in Bali, Indonesia, across rainy and dry seasons. The study found concentrations ranging from 9.51 to 90.60 particles per kilogram, with the highest levels near a landfill site, and polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene were the most commonly identified polymers.
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.

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.
Analysis of Abundance and Distribution of Microplastics in Sediments of Sail River, Pekanbaru City, Riau
Researchers analyzed sediment samples from the Sail River in Pekanbaru, Indonesia, and found microplastic contamination at all sampling stations, with abundance increasing toward downstream areas.
