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

The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) phenomenon is a phenomenon that occurs in the Indian Ocean due to differences in sea surface temperature anomalies between the Western Indian Ocean and Eastern Indian Ocean regions. This interaction produces high pressure in the Eastern Indian Ocean (South of Java and West of Sumatra) which causes the flow of air masses to blow westward. The IOD phenomenon affects oceanographic parameters such as sea surface temperature, salinity, currents, and sea level rise in Indonesian waters. The Malacca Strait is a very important waterway because it connects the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea (Pacific Ocean) so it is strongly influenced by the IOD phenomenon. This research was conducted from November 2022 - February 2023. Global data collection in this study was located in the waters of the Strait of Melaka and data collection for validation was carried out in the waters of North Rupat. This study uses data analysis using secondary data and primary data to validate the secondary data used so that it can prove that the global data in this study are accurate. The results of this study found that in the period 2013 - 2022, the range of sea surface temperature of the Malacca Strait is 27 - 32°C. The salinity of the Malacca Strait waters ranges from 32.54 - 33.49 ppt. The current speed in the Malacca Strait is classified as weak to strong with the direction of movement of the Malacca Strait ocean currents back and forth. The Malacca Strait waters have a mixed tidal type of double daily inclination with an F value of 0.6 cm. The sea level rise in the Malacca Strait ranges from 0.50 - 0.76 cm. The IOD phenomenon affects sea surface temperature, salinity, sea level rise, and current velocity depending on the IOD phase
