Abstract

Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5 mm that are difficult to degrade and tend to persist for long periods. This study aims to analyze the types and abundance of microplastics, as well as differences in abundance and their relationships in water, sediment, and blood clams (Anadara granosa). This study was conducted in the waters off Sinaboi Beach, Rokan Hilir Regency, and continued at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Marine Science, Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Universitas Riau. The method used was a survey employing a purposive sampling approach. The results of this study indicate that the composition of microplastic types found in the waters of Sinaboi Beach included fibers, fragments, films, foams, and granules (pellets); however, in the sediments and blood clams, only granules (pellets) were found. The average abundance of microplastics in water, sediment, and blood clams was 1,467 particles/L, 1,299 particles/g, and 6,844 particles/g, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that the abundance of microplastics in water, sediment, and blood clams based on sampling stations did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). Microplastic abundance in blood clams differed significantly from that in water and sediment (p < 0.05), whereas the comparison between water and sediment showed nearly equivalent abundance levels (p > 0.05). The strongest relationship was found between microplastic abundance in blood clams and sediment, showing a moderate positive correlation

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types and abundance of microplastics in water and sediment between research stations and to examine differences in microplastic abundance across sediment depths in the coastal waters of Tanah Merah Village, Meranti Islands Regency. Samples were taken from three different locations: residential areas, fishing ports, and mangrove areas. The number of water and sediment samples from the three research stations was 27. Water quality parameters, including temperature, salinity, pH, and current velocity, were measured to assess the condition of the aquatic environment. The results showed that four types of microplastics were found, namely fragments, fibers, films, and pellets. The abundance of microplastics in seawater had an average value of 0.86 particles/L, with fragments being the most dominant type. Meanwhile, the abundance of microplastics in sediment had an average value of 1084.33 particles/kg of sediment, with fibers dominating. Based on sediment depth, the highest microplastic abundance was observed at station three in the 0-10 cm layer, with an average of 1010 particles/kg of sediment. The abundance of microplastics in water and sediment shows a significant difference. This is because there is a significant relationship between the abundance of microplastics in water and sediment

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the suitability of marine tourism conditions for the beach recreation category in order to ensure the sustainability of marine tourism, as Kawasan Wisata Pantai Padang is frequently visited by both domestic and international tourists. This can increase anthropogenic activities in the area and lead to a significant amount of marine debris, especially plastic waste, thus potentially compromising the aesthetic value of the tourist beach and even causing environmental pollution and negative impacts on humans. The collection of IKW data employs the purposive sampling method. The observation stations are divided into 8, each observation station consists of an area with different characteristics related to human activities such as densely populated areas, river estuaries, tourist areas, and sparsely populated areas. The determination of the suitability index for beach recreational marine tourism is carried out using a suitability matrix analysis, considering 10 parameters such as Beach Type, Substrate Material, Water Depth, Water Clarity, Current Velocity, Beach Slope, Coastal Land Cover, Hazardous Biota, and Freshwater Availability. The condition of the suitability index parameters for recreational beaches in the Padang Beach Tourism Area at stations 2, 3, 4, and 5 obtains a value of 2.56, indicating that they fall into the category of highly suitable (total score greater than 2.5). Furthermore, at stations 1 and 6, the obtained values are 2.095, classifying them as suitable (total score slightly less than 2.5), and stations 7 and 8 achieve a value of 1.89, categorizing them as not suitable (total score less than 2.0).The results indicate that overall, the Padang Beach Tourism Area falls within the category of highly suitable for beach recreational tourism and can be further developed in its management.
