Abstract

Microplastic is one of the most serious problems in the marine environment. In this study we determined the type, amount, abundance and microplastic distribution of large-microplastic (1-5 mm) in the backshore (BS), strandline (SL) and wateredge (WE) zones on Anday Beach - Manokwari Regency, West Papua. Sampling was conducted on March 2019 with three replicates sampling times. The types of microplastic found on Anday Beach are films, fragments, and fibers. About 78% of large-microplastic observed in Anday beach were plastic films. The highest abundance of large-microplastic were found in the BS and WE zones with average of 6.67 items / m².
