This research aims to quantify and analyze the distribution of microplastics in coastal sediments at Kaliratu Beach.
In situ sampling at seven locations along Kaliratu Beach
Utilized hydrodynamics modeling with Mike 21 software to simulate microplastics movement
Analyzed microplastic types, sizes, and concentrations.
Microplastic concentration ranged from 25 to 57.5 particles/kg
Types of microplastics identified include fibers, films, and pellets
Introduction of microplastics occurs via river runoff and tidal currents.
