This Indonesian study analyzed the characteristics and sources of marine debris on beaches in the Mandalika tourism zone in Lombok and proposed mitigation strategies. Managing plastic waste at tourist destinations is important for preventing further microplastic contamination of coastal ecosystems.
Abundance, distribution and correlation of microplastics in Tuapejat coastal water Mentawai Islands Indonesia
Researchers found microplastics — primarily fibers, fragments, and films — in both water and sediment samples from coastal waters of the Mentawai Islands, Indonesia, with the highest concentrations linked to anthropogenic activities in this marine tourism hub.
Urbanization Impacts on Microplastic in Benthic Organisms and Sediment of Small Islands
Researchers investigated how urbanisation on small islands in Indonesia affects microplastic contamination levels in benthic organisms and sediments, examining the impact of land use conversions from pristine ecosystems to settlements and tourism facilities.
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.
Jenis dan Kelimpahan Mikroplastik Pada Sedimen di Gili Ketapang, Probolinggo
Researchers investigated the types and abundance of microplastics in sediment samples collected from Gili Ketapang, a small island in Probolinggo, Indonesia, where poor waste management has led to visible plastic accumulation along the coastline. The study documented microplastic contamination in coastal sediments near a fishing community, providing baseline data for this understudied Indonesian marine environment.
Literature Review: Identifikasi Mikroplastik Terhadap Lingkungan Laut Dan Biota Laut
This literature review examines five studies on microplastic identification in Indonesian marine environments and biota, characterising abundance, morphology, and polymer type. The review found that fiber and fragment shapes predominate, polystyrene and polycarbonate are the dominant polymers, and microplastic abundance correlates with local population density and human activity, with ingestion by marine organisms posing risks to food chains and human health.
Analysis of the Abundance and Diversity of Microplastic Contamination in Ekas Bay Cultivation Areas
Researchers analyzed microplastic abundance and diversity in water and sediment samples across three sampling points in the floating net cage areas of Ekas Bay, Lombok, finding water concentrations ranging from 40.40 to 55.76 particles per liter and sediment concentrations from 10.8 to 12.25 particles per liter.
Analysis of marine debris characteristics in the Mandalika special economic zone (SEZ), Lombok
Marine debris characteristics were analyzed at four beaches in the Mandalika Special Economic Zone in Lombok, Indonesia, a popular international tourism destination hosting major events. The study quantified debris types and quantities to inform mitigation strategies protecting coastal tourism infrastructure and marine ecosystem health.
Microplastics Characteristics in The Seawater of Gresik Waters, East Java, Indonesia
Researchers collected seawater samples from six stations in Gresik Waters, East Java, Indonesia, and identified microplastics through visual examination and microscopy. The study characterizes microplastic abundance, morphology, color, and size in this Indonesian marine environment, contributing to baseline pollution data for the region.
Mikroplastik pada Terumbu Karang di Pulau Panjang Jepara
