Abstract

Microplastics are small particles <5 mm in size that come from plastic waste. The large amount of plastic waste produced every day, most of which is thrown into the sea, means that the presence of microplastics continues to increase and is widespread almost throughout the sea surface, including Jeneponto Regency. This is very risky for contamination of feather shellfish which are often consumed by local people, so it is very dangerous for health. Therefore, it is necessary to identify microplastics in feather shellfish in Garassikang Village. Aim to determine the characteristics of microplastics in feather clams found on the coast of Garassikang Village, Jeneponto Regency in 2023. This type of quantitative research uses a descriptive approach with laboratory tests. The population is all edible shellfish obtained directly in the coastal waters of Garassikang Village, Jeneponto Regency, with a total sample of 15 feather shellfish obtained using a purposive sampling technique. The average abundance of microplastics in feather clams was 512.53 particles/kg with a microplastic size of 0.027 mm - 6,800 mm. There are 2 types of microplastics found, namely fibers and fragments, and there are 3 types of microplastic colors, namely blue, red and transparent. There are microplastics in shellfish found on the coast of Garassikang village. Of the 15 shellfish samples, 12 shellfish contained microplastics, this needs to be investigated in more depth regarding how dangerous exposure to microplastics is to human health using the FTIR test.

Abstract

Introduction: Bunaken Island still lacks proper waste management infrastructure, resulting in the accumulation of garbage around residences and along the coastline. This prevalent issue significantly impacts public health and the overall quality of life on the island. The research seeks to evaluate the waste management situation on Bunaken Island and identify suitable locations for waste disposal. Methods: The study employed random sampling techniques to select households within the study area for primary data collection. The research utilized Boolean and spatial analysis methods to pinpoint appropriate waste disposal zones and propose sustainable waste management strategies for Bunaken Island. Results and Discussion: Findings revealed that Bunaken Island spans a land area of 794.12 hectares and is inhabited by a population of 3,843. The analysis identified two recommended locations for final disposal zones, totaling 3.40 and 0.45 hectares, respectively. Moreover, the estimated waste generation over the next decade is approximately 4,277,893 kilograms, necessitating 0.0241 hectares of land for waste accommodation through terracing methods. Conclusion: Addressing this issue requires the identification of two viable disposal zones in distinct locations. Additionally, implementing recycling practices to utilize both organic and inorganic waste from local and marine sources and promoting reuse before landfill disposal are crucial strategies for effective waste management on Bunaken Island.
