First evidence of meso- and microplastics on the mangrove leaves ingested by herbivorous snails and induced transcriptional responses
First evidence of meso- and microplastic contamination on mangrove leaves was documented, with herbivorous snails that feed on these leaves also found to contain the particles. The findings establish mangrove leaf surfaces as a pathway for microplastic entry into tropical coastal food webs.
Microplastics contamination in molluscs from mangrove forest of Situbondo, Indonesia
Microplastics were found in all but one of 40 bivalve and gastropod molluscs sampled from a mangrove forest in Indonesia, with fibers being the dominant type and larger animals containing more particles. Mangrove ecosystems sit at the boundary between land and sea and are heavily used as nursery habitats, so microplastic contamination of molluscs there points to both direct harm to these organisms and potential risk to people who consume them.
Distribution and Types of Microplastics in Coastal Sediments of Sepanjang Beach
Researchers characterised the distribution and types of microplastics in coastal sediments of Sepanjang Beach, Indonesia, examining microplastic presence in relation to gastropod digestive tract contamination in the local marine environment.
Profil Pencemaran Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen Ekosistem Mangrove di Pulau Serangan, Bali
Indonesian researchers measured microplastic contamination in mangrove sediments at Serangan Island, Bali, sampling across different depths and land-use types to map the distribution of plastic particles in this coastal ecosystem. Mangroves act as natural plastic traps due to their dense root networks, making them important sentinels for monitoring coastal plastic pollution.
Microplastic Ingestion by Periwinkle Snail Littoraria scabra and Mangrove Crab Metopograpsus quadridentata in Pramuka Island, Jakarta Bay, Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics in both periwinkle snails (Littoraria scabra) and mangrove crabs (Metopograpsus quadridentata) collected from Pramuka Island in Jakarta Bay, Indonesia, with fibers being the most common type, indicating widespread microplastic contamination in mangrove-associated fauna.
Determination of Microplastic Compounds in Some Species of Freshwater Snails in Brantas River, East Java, Indonesia
This study examined microplastic contamination in three freshwater gastropod species from Indonesia's Brantas River system, documenting MP abundance and polymer types across sampling sites and species to assess contamination patterns in edible freshwater snails consumed locally.
Field study of the microplastic pollution in sea snails (Ellobium chinense) from mangrove forest and their relationships with microplastics in water/sediment located on the north of Beibu Gulf
Scientists measured microplastics in tissues of sea snails (Ellobium chinense) collected from mangrove forests in the Beibu Gulf, finding contamination in soft tissues but not shells, with fiber type and color patterns matching those in local water and sediment samples.
Evaluating microplastic contamination in Omani mangrove habitats using large mud snails (Terebralia palustris)
Researchers evaluated microplastic contamination in large mud snails (Terebralia palustris) from Avicennia marina mangrove ecosystems along the Sea of Oman using a modified combined digestion protocol and portable Raman spectroscopy. They found microplastics in 50% of examined snails, with fibres comprising 75.7% of particles, and significantly higher contamination in snails from the polluted Shinas lagoon compared to a marine protected area.
Microplastics in Singapore’s coastal mangrove ecosystems
Researchers sampled coastal mangrove ecosystems in Singapore and found microplastics throughout, demonstrating that mangrove habitats accumulate plastic pollution and raising concerns for the organisms that depend on these ecologically important coastal forests.
Microplastics Dissemination from Fish Mugil dussumieri and Mangrove Water of Muara Teluknaga, Tangerang, Banten
Researchers found microplastics in the mullet fish Mugil dussumieri and in mangrove water in Indonesia, documenting the presence of plastic contamination across both a commercially important fish species and a sensitive coastal ecosystem. The findings raise concerns about microplastic exposure for communities that rely on mangrove fisheries.
Contamination of Microplastics in the Gastropod Sulcospira sp. from Upstream of the Brantas River in Indonesia
This Indonesian study measured microplastic contamination in water and in the freshwater gastropod Sulcospira sp. collected from five sites along the upper Brantas River, finding microplastics present in both the water and the snails' bodies across all locations. Fragment-type plastics were most common, and land use near sampling sites appeared to influence contamination levels. Because these snails are part of local food webs — and in some regions are consumed by people — their contamination raises concerns about microplastic transfer up the food chain.
Size and Types Distribution of Marine Debris in the Mangrove Ecosystem of Bintan Island - Indonesia
Researchers surveyed marine debris — from large items to microplastics — in sediments and gastropods in mangrove ecosystems on Bintan Island, Indonesia. Both macro and microplastics were found throughout the mangrove environment, including in the tissues of marine snails, indicating that mangrove ecosystems serve as sinks for plastic pollution.
Occurrenceand characteristics of microplastics in benthic species from mangrove wetlands of Hainan, South China
Researchers found microplastics in 10 species of benthic organisms — including crabs, bivalves, and snails — across seven mangrove areas in Hainan, China, confirming that mangrove ecosystems and the organisms that inhabit them are significantly contaminated by microplastic pollution.
Diversity of Bivalvia Types in the Mangrove Area of Sungai Nyirih Village, West Kalimantan
This study identifies and catalogs bivalve species (cockles and blood clams) living in mangrove ecosystems of West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It is not directly about microplastics; while bivalves are commonly used as bioindicators for microplastic contamination, this paper does not assess plastic ingestion or pollution levels and is a false positive for microplastic relevance.
Study of microplastics pollution in sediments and organisms in mangrove forests: A review
This review examined 53 studies on microplastic pollution in mangrove forests, finding that these coastal ecosystems act as traps that retain microplastics in their sediments and root systems for extended periods. Researchers found that fiber-shaped and brightly colored microplastics were most commonly detected in organisms like mollusks, crustaceans, and fish living in these habitats. The highest concentrations of microplastics in mangrove environments were reported in China.
Macro-microscopic evidence of pest, diseases and coexistence of microplastics in Avicennia marina leaves from Mangunharjo Village, Tugu District, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia
Researchers surveying a mangrove forest in Indonesia found not only pest damage and fungal disease on the leaves of Avicennia marina trees, but also microscopic objects tentatively identified as microplastics on and inside the leaf tissue. While preliminary, the finding raises the possibility that microplastics may be absorbed or deposited directly into mangrove plant tissue, a coastal ecosystem type that filters large volumes of land-derived pollution.
Microplastics in mangroves with special reference to Asia: Occurrence, distribution, bioaccumulation and remediation options
This review examines microplastic contamination in Asian mangrove ecosystems, finding higher pollution levels near fishing, tourism, and industrial areas. Organisms throughout the mangrove food web, from shellfish to fish, accumulate microplastics based on their feeding habits and habitat. While mangrove plants can trap some microplastics in their roots, the widespread contamination of these coastal ecosystems raises concerns about the safety of seafood harvested from mangrove areas for human consumption.
Microplastics Abundance and Uptake by Meretrix lyrata (Hard Clam) in Mangrove Forest
Microplastics are abundant in mangrove sediments in Vietnam, with particles averaging 0.35 per gram of tissue in hard clams (Meretrix lyrata). Since clams are widely eaten, this finding raises concerns about human ingestion of microplastics through seafood from coastal ecosystems.
