Abstract

Microplastic pollution in the coastal areas of Bengkulu City continues to rise due to human activities and has the potential to contaminate marine organisms, including edible fish. This study aims to identify the shapes and colors of microplastics in water samples and various types of coastal fish at Kualo Beach, Batu Tahu Beach, and Berkas Beach in Bengkulu City. The study was conducted from February to May 2026 using a quantitative descriptive method involving destruction, filtration, and microscopic observation. The results showed that five forms of microplastics were identified: fibers, fragments, films, foams, and pellets. The most dominant form of microplastic was fibers, while the most commonly found colors were red, blue, and black. The presence of microplastics is suspected to originate from fishing activities, household waste, and beach tourism litter. These findings indicate that the coastal waters of Bengkulu City have been contaminated with microplastics, which can impact marine organisms and human health through the food chain.
