Abstract

Coastal and marine areas have the potential for anthropogenic pollution. Solid waste, especially plastic, is a pollutant that contributes greatly to polluting coastal areas. Plastic will degrade into small sizes known as microplastics. The purpose of this study was to determine the content of microplastics in the Padang and Pariaman Coastal Waters, West Sumatra. This research was conducted in November 2021 in the seawaters of Padang Wisata Beach (Air Manis Beach and Muaro Lasak Beach) and Pariaman Beach (Kata Beach and Gandoriah Beach) of West Sumatra Province. Based on the results of the study, four types of microplastics were found, namely fiber, film, fragments, and granules. The type of fragment is the dominant type found, followed by the type of film, fiber and granules. Microplastic abundance at Air Manis Beach ranged from 616.67-2196.97 particles/m3, Muaro Lasak Beach 916.67-2396.67 particles/m3, Kata Beach 320.00-1190.00 particles/m3, and Gandoriah Beach 550, 00-1363.33 particles/m3. In general, at Padang Beach and Pariaman Beach by type, microplastic fragments were the most common type found with a percentage of 53%. The type of film is the second most common type (32%), followed by the type of fiber (11%) and the type of grain (4%). Microplastics were distributed in seawater at Padang Beach and Pariaman Beach with different abundances.

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.
