Abstract

This community service activity aimed to provide education on coastal waste management to improve environmental awareness and support the cleanliness of Loang Baloq Beach, Mataram City. The activity was conducted using a participatory approach through field observations, interviews, documentation, coastal waste identification, and educational outreach involving local residents, beach visitors, and vendors around the coastal area. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to identify the dominant types and sources of coastal waste and to evaluate the implementation of the educational activities. The findings indicated that the coastal area was predominantly contaminated by inorganic waste, including plastic bags, plastic bottles, Styrofoam, disposable diapers, food packaging, and other household waste transported by river flows, particularly during the rainy season. The educational program introduced the principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle (3R) and encouraged participants to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors in waste management. The implementation of the program increased participants' understanding of the environmental impacts of coastal waste and highlighted the importance of active community involvement in maintaining coastal cleanliness. In conclusion, coastal waste management education is an effective strategy for strengthening environmental awareness and promoting sustainable coastal conservation. Continuous collaboration among the community, local government, tourism stakeholders, and related institutions is essential to preserve the cleanliness and sustainability of Loang Baloq Beach.

Abstract

Coastal areas like Kota Tua Ampenan Beach in Mataram hold significant historical, cultural, and tourism value, yet rising visitor and community activity has increased waste generation, threatening coastal sustainability. This activity aimed to identify the types and distribution of waste in the area and to raise community environmental awareness through education. A descriptive method with a participatory approach was used, involving direct observation, interviews, documentation, and environmental education for residents, vendors, and visitors. The observation results showed a total of 510 waste items, dominated by plastic waste (250 items, 49.0%), followed by wood branches and dried leaves (180 items, 35.3%), cans (50 items, 9.8%), and vegetable residues (30 items, 5.9%). The environmental education activities improved participants' understanding of the impact of waste on the coastal ecosystem and encouraged more environmentally responsible behavior, although littering was still observed. It can be concluded that plastic waste is the main pollutant at Kota Tua Ampenan Beach, while environmental education effectively increased community awareness and participation in coastal conservation. These findings imply the need for sustainable community-based waste management, including adequate facilities and ongoing education, to support the area's conservation.
