“…Indonesia is one of the countries facing the problem of microplastic contamination [8] [9] based on the Ministry of the Environment of the Republic of Indonesia stating its monitoring that 75% of rivers are heavily polluted from household waste. Apart from that, Indonesia is in second place as the country that produces the most plastic waste in the sea in the world, reaching 187.2 million tonnes after China, which reached 262.9 million tonnes [10].…”

Water is an important natural resource in life, and its quality decreases in meeting human needs. This happens because human activities do not care about the environment, resulting in various disasters due to water pollution. This condition occurs in several countries, including Indonesia, with abundant water quantities at sea and on land. In education, preventive action in disaster mitigation efforts is needed, especially for teenagers, to instill knowledge and concern in the new generation. A media approach in the form of comics was used in this educational effort. The comic, a popular culture product, raised the theme of mitigating water pollution disasters and was created using a popular visual approach and digital platforms. The use of comic media has yet to produce a significant impact on mitigation actions. However, this effort has been able to generate enthusiasm from teenagers because the issue of concern for water pollution is conveyed using language that is understandable and interesting for them.

“…However, the microplastic research was more spread on Java Island (49%) than other Indoensia islands [11]. The sources of microplastics in Indonesia led to domestic waste, tourism, and fishing activities as the primary sources [13]. Those activities were found in Lampung Province as a part of Minapolitan.…”

Microplastics have been challenging issues as an emerging pollutant in the marine environment. The objective aims to assess the surface microplastic abundance and morphology around Pasaran Island, Lampung Province. Sampling was done by using plankton net in four sampling stations, which were selected purposively and sampled using the composite method in the morning and evening. The microplastics would be analyzed by visual inspection for the morphology (shape, size, and colors) and polymers. The microplastic abundance around Pasar Island was identified as 67,25±24.8 items/L. The highest finding was located in the fourth station, which was the nearest area of fishing activities. However, there was no significant difference spatially and temporally. The dominant size distribution was 401-1000 (40%) mm, while blue (33%) and black (28%) were the most commonly found colors. The microplastic shape was observed in fiber (72%), followed by fragment (20%). The Raman test was done to identify its polymer, using a blue fragment sample detected as polypropylene.

“…The shape of the fiber generally comes from river or estuary waters of different sizes. One of many fish with high concentrations of microplastics is Lemuru fish (Basri et al, 2021). FTIR analysis showed that the highest microplastic content in fish species in coastal areas was polyethylene (PE) compared to other polymers (polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyamide (PA) (Llorca et al, 2020).…”

Highlight Research Fish and shellfish on the coast of Payangan and Puger Several types of microplastics were detected in their gastrointestinal tract There were microplastic types of fiber, fragments, granules, and filaments Abstract Every year, it is estimated that the Indonesian seas receive 100,000-400,000 tons of plastic waste used for human consumption. Indiscriminate disposal of plastic waste will have an impact in the future. The problem of microplastics is an illustration that the use of plastic in daily activities will cause environmental ecological damage. The purpose of the study was to describe microplastic contamination in marine fish and shells in the coastal areas of Jember Regency, Indonesia. The method used is to detect and identify the type and numbers of microplastic particles in the gastrointestinal tract content of sea fish and shells obtained from fishermen around Payangan and Puger coastal Jember, Indonesia. The gastrointestinal tract was extracted with peroxide oxidation method (WPO). A light microscope was used to examine microplastic particles of types and numbers. The results showed that marine fish and shells in the coastal area of Jember Regency, Indonesia have been contaminated with microplastic. The microplastic in each marine fish and shells sample has a different type. There were microplastic types of fiber, fragments, granules, and filaments in the shells sample, while in the marine fish samples, there were all these types except granules. Fish and shellfish on the coast of Payangan and Puger had several types of microplastics detected in their gastrointestinal tract.
