“…This condition has something to do with the Angke Kapuk Mangrove Protected Forest (AKMPF), where many garbage piles are in the sidelines of the roots of mangrove trees, especially A. marina species. Cordova et al (2021) stated that the sediments in the Angke Kapuk area contained more microplastics than other locations. Plastics buried in the sediment, especially the upper sediment, will create prolonged anoxic conditions and cause death in plants due to disruption of growth of pneumatophores (van Bijsterveldt et al 2021).…”

“…The location of mangroves on the edge of the capital area causes a lot of garbage carried by rivers and seawater to accumulate and get trapped between mangrove roots, especially plastic waste that is difficult to degrade (Martin et al 2019). In the Angke Kapuk area, a lot of plastic waste was found piled up among the mangrove roots, especially on the soil surface, which was about 28.09 particles/kg dry sediment for the microplastic waste category and 20 -533 items/m 2 with a weight of 108.7 -5449.7 g/m 2 for macro size plastic waste category (Cordova et al 2021;Hastuti et al 2014). Plastic that accumulates on the mangrove floor can form prolonged anoxic conditions, so that only species that are able to adapt to these conditions can survive.…”

Abstract. Rumondang AL, Kusmana C, Budi SW. 2021. Species composition and structure of Angke Kapuk Mangrove Protected Forest, Jakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3863-3871. Angke Kapuk Mangrove Protected Forest (AKMPF) is one of the protected forests in the coastal area of DKI Jakarta, Indonesia. This area is important for the north coast of Jakarta, hence it has function to protect the land from sea abrasion, seawater intrusion, and seawater flooding. This study aims to determine the condition of forest structures and species composition in the Angke Kapuk Mangrove Protected Forest (AKMPF) to obtain useful information for sustainable mangrove forest management. Vegetation data were collected using the sampling unit of transect for tree and line plot for forest regeneration inventories. Those data were analyzed for the density, frequency, dominance, species diversity, and species distribution pattern. The obtained results show that AKMPF consists of 13 mangrove species, including 7 species of true mangrove, 5 species associated mangrove, and 1 species of palm, with the dominant species, are Avicennia marina for tree with its regenerations and Acrostichum aureum for groundcover. Overall, the species diversity index in this area was classified as low category. Mangrove trees in this area have height class between 4-28 meters formed bell-curve, while stem diameter class were between 10.00-69.75 cm formed L-curve. The distribution pattern of species in this areal generally was clumped.

“…The litter obtained and included in the plastic category was analyzed for its chemical composition with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (Thermo Scientifi c Nicolet™ iS5 with diamond Attenuated Total Refl ectance). Given that FTIR spectroscopy was used to analyze molecular vibrations, it was possible to determine that the authors were looking at a polymer by the presence of a prominent peak, which was previously identifi ed [Cordova et al, 2018[Cordova et al, , 2020b[Cordova et al, , 2021…”

Tourism is a significant socioeconomic activity in a coastal country such as Indonesia. However, it degrades the ecosystem quality when the increasing litter pollution is poorly managed in the marine tourism area. The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of tourism on the litter pollution on the Padar Island, Komodo National Park, Indonesia, specifically on the hiking track. According to the performed investigation, plastic litter was discovered dominant on the Padar Island (131 of 146 items). It was found that filter cigarette butts (49 items, 33.56%), candy wrapper (18 items, 12.33%), wet tissue/wet wipes (17 items, 11.64%) and outsole from shoe/sandals (13 items, 8.90%), dominated the litter collected. Smoking activity, food and beverage consumption, and hiking activity are all examples of activities that may result in litter from visitors in this national park area. Tourism impacts the litter pollution in the Padar Island hiking trail. Therefore, more robust awareness strategies and controls are required to reduce the litter pollution and prevent further consequences.

“…An investigation carried out by Cordava et al (2021) in Muara Angke Wildlife reserve of Indonesia, showed that an average microplastics of 28.09 ± 10.28 particles/kg of sediments were present, in which the outside areas of mangroves were more prone to higher concentrations of microplastics than inner side, due to tidal patterns (Cordova et al 2021). The spatial distribution of microplastics in sediment samples of mangroves of Southern Brazil, was analysed by Zamprogno et al (2021) and it reported that less preserved sites of basin areas that were prone to human activities were more susceptible, and had higher microplastic concentrations than fringe areas due to stagnant, low flow or weak tides (Zamprogno et al 2021).…”

“…Xie et al 2021 tried studying the colonization of rhizosphere microbes on microplastic surfaces, and interestingly found that other than rhizosphere microbes that showed biodegradation towards microplastics, few pathogenic organisms, such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Escherichia Shigella, were also persistent along with microplastics and soil (Xie et al 2021). The predominance of polystyrene, polypropylene and polyethylene-based polymers in mangrove sediments may be because of fragmentation of food wrappers and textiles disposed during maritime transport, and from the fishing gears used during fishing activities (Cordova et al 2021).…”

Microplastics in mangroves and coral reef ecosystems: a review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Microplastic pollution has recently been identified as a major issue for the health of ecosystems. Microplastics have typically sizes of less than 5 mm and occur in various forms, such as pellets, fibres, fragments, films, and granules. Mangroves and coral reefs are sensitive and restricted ecosystems that provide free ecological services such as coastal protection, maintaining natural cycles, hotspots of biodiversity and economically valuable goods. However, urbanization and industrial activities have started contaminating even these preserved ecosystems. Here we review sources, occurrence, and toxicity of microplastics in the trophic levels of mangrove and coral reef ecosystems. We present detection methods, such as microscopic identification and spectroscopy. We discuss mitigating measures that prevent the entry of microplastics into the marine environment.
