Microplastics contamination of sea surface water in Banda Aceh City and Aceh Besar District, Aceh Province, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in sea surface waters of Banda Aceh City and Aceh Besar District along the coast of Aceh Province, Indonesia, where plastic waste from urban areas degrades into microparticles threatening coastal water quality. The study quantified microplastic concentrations and characterized particle types in surface water samples from this Indonesian coastal region.

Researchers assessed marine litter quantity and composition in Ambon Bay, Indonesia, finding higher debris densities in the inner bay near populated areas with plastics comprising the dominant fraction, and proposed a grading system for coastal pollution assessment.
Abundance of Marine Debris on Padang and Pariaman Beaches West Sumatra Province
Researchers surveyed marine debris abundance on Padang and Pariaman tourist beaches in West Sumatra, Indonesia, identifying eight waste types including plastic, metal, glass, wood, paper, rubber, and cloth. Total fragment densities reached 3,392 items/m2 on Padang Beach and 2,484 items/m2 on Pariaman Beach, with no statistically significant difference between the two locations.
The 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.
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.
Debris from plastic products in the beaches around Northern Ambon Island
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.
The abundance of microplastics in coral reef ecosystems in the waters of Krueng Raya, Aceh Besar
Researchers measured microplastic abundance in sediment from coral reef ecosystems at three sites in Krueng Raya waters, Aceh Besar, Indonesia, and evaluated correlations between MP abundance and live coral cover. Microplastics were found at all three sites, with the study providing baseline data on MP contamination in Indonesian coral reef habitats.
Identification of Microplastic Abundance in Indonesia's Coastal Regions: A Review
This review assessed microplastic abundance across Indonesia's coastal regions, synthesizing studies from rivers, seas, and lakes to document the extent of MP pollution in this archipelago nation with high plastic waste generation and limited waste management infrastructure.
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.
Physical Assessment of Marine Debris Along the Coast of Brunei Darussalam
This pioneer study of marine debris on beaches in Brunei Darussalam collected and categorized debris from four beaches along the 161 km South China Sea coastline. Plastic was a dominant debris type, with findings providing the first baseline data on coastal litter in this Southeast Asian nation.
Short-term Observation on Marine Debris at Coastal Areas of Takalar District and Makassar City, South Sulawesi-indonesia
Researchers surveyed marine debris on coastal areas in Takalar District, Indonesia, finding plastic as the dominant material type. Short-term monitoring of beach litter provides baseline data for understanding local plastic inputs to the ocean.
Distribution of Marine debris in Coral Reef Ecosystems on Mules Island, Sawu Marine National Park
This study mapped the distribution and types of marine debris in the coral reef ecosystem around Mules Island in Sawu Marine National Park, Indonesia. Plastic waste was the dominant debris type, threatening the biodiversity and ecosystem services of this protected marine area. The findings highlight the need for better waste management in coastal communities adjacent to protected marine parks.
Microplastics contamination in three species of marine fish harvested by coastal land trawl in Banda Aceh City and Aceh Besar Regency waters, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic contamination in three marine fish species caught by coastal land trawl in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, Indonesia, over a three-month sampling period across three sites to assess plastic pollution risk in coastal fisheries.
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.
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.
Microplastic in Beach Sediment of Nasi Island, Aceh Besar Regency, Indonesia
Researchers analyzed microplastic abundance, morphology, and polymer composition in beach sediments from two beaches on Nasi Island, Aceh Besar Regency, Indonesia, using dry sieve fractionation, microscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy. They found fragments, films, and fibers across both beaches, with peak abundance of 2,651 particles/kg at the finest sieve fraction (0.063 mm), and identified PETE, polystyrene, and LDPE as the dominant polymer types.
Indonesia's Policy in Addressing Marine Debris
This review examines the scale of marine debris — predominantly plastic — as a serious threat to ocean ecosystems, marine life, and fishing economies in Indonesia, one of the world's largest plastic-polluting nations. The paper evaluates Indonesia's existing policies (improved waste management, public education) and finds them insufficient, recommending a comprehensive, coordinated national approach. Indonesia's marine plastic challenge is a bellwether for the broader global problem of plastic waste reaching the ocean.
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.
Spatial distribution of marine debris in mangrove ecosystem of Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta
Researchers surveyed marine debris in the mangrove ecosystem of Pantai Indah Kapuk in Jakarta, finding that plastic items made up 77.7% of all macro debris followed by styrofoam at 18.1%.
