Distribusi Mikroplastik Pada Air Laut Di Pesisir Barat Pulau Karimun Provinsi Kepulauan Riau
Microplastic is a pollutant because it has a very small size and has a
negative impact on living things and the environment. Microplastics can be
distributed to marine waters due to hydrodynamic factors and anthropogenic
activities. This study aims to determine the distribution of microplastics on the
west coast of Karimun Island, Riau Islands province. The research method used
was a survey method with purposive sampling technique. The research location is
set at 4 stations including station 1 Teluk Senang (mangrove forest), station 2
Pangke Beach (tourist area), station 3 Tanjung Melolo (port Roro) and station 4
Tanjung Balai (densely populated). Samples were taken at high tide and low tide.
The abundance of microplastics in the study area ranged from 112.00-86.00
particles /m3. The types of microplastics found are fiber, film and fragments. The
highest abundance of microplastic types was fiber, namely 44.5 particles /m3
(47%), then film, namely 31 particles /m3 (32%) and fragments of 19.75 particles
/m3 (21%). microplastics are distributed throughout the waters of the West Coast
of Karimun Island. The highest distribution is in densely populated areas, namely
Tanjung Balai
