“…A total of 4212 items of marine debris were recorded at the study sites, with 3780 items being plastic debris, accounting for 92.3% of the total debris. This is consistent with recent studies that have found plastic debris to be the most abundant type of litter (ArunKumar, et al., 2019; Paler, et al, 2019; Buckingham, et al, 2020; de Melo Nobre, et al, 2021;Watson, et al, 2022). The most abundant types of plastic debris were identi ed as plastic ropes and net pieces, plastic fragments, beverage bottles, Styrofoam, and bottle caps (Table3) (Jeyasanta, et al, 2020;Arun Kumar, et al, 2019;Priyanka, et al, 2022).…”

Marine plastic debris has become a major concern on the northern coast of Jaffna, Sri Lanka, where it poses a threat to marine resources. A preliminary study was conducted to investigate the abundance and characteristics of marine plastic debris at four major fish landing sites in the northern coast of Jaffna, using the Clean Coast Index (CCI) and Plastic Abundance Index (PAI). The results revealed that the average abundance of marine debris and plastic debris were 1.71 ± 0.42 items/m2 and 1.66 ± 0.57 items/m2, respectively. The most common types of plastic debris were plastic rope and net pieces (23.2%), followed by unidentified weathered plastic fragments (16.7%), beverage bottles (16.2%), bottle caps and lids (13%), and styrofoam (14.1%). The recognized sources of plastic debris were mainly fishing-based activities, recreation activities, transboundary sources, and unidentified sources. The cleanliness level of the fish landing sites were categorized as extremely dirty, with high levels of plastic debris, resulting in a CCI above 10 and a PAI value over 8. This study realized the consequence of implementation of a proper plastic waste management framework in the northern coast of Jaffna and highlights the necessity to address buoyant debris on the northern Indian Ocean.

“…Sampah laut, yang didefinisikan sebagai limbah padat yang terus-menerus dihasilkan, dibuang, atau ditinggalkan di lingkungan laut oleh manusia, merupakan masalah yang signifikan (Cordova, 2017;Johan et al, 2020). Menurut (Kandrot et al, 2022), sumber sampah laut dapat berasal dari aktivitas manusia maupun pengaruh alam, termasuk wisatawan pantai, nelayan, masyarakat pesisir, dan industry (Agamuthu et al, 2019;Sari et al, 2022;Watson et al, 2022). Keberadaan sampah di laut memiliki dampak negatif terhadap kehidupan biota laut, yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan pada ekosistem laut dan, secara tidak langsung, memengaruhi kehidupan manusia.…”

This research aims to evaluate the capabilities of the DJI Phantom 4 Pro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in monitoring the accumulation points and analyzing the characteristics of marine debris stranded at Sindulang Beach. The research methodology employed a descriptive approach with a survey method, including data collection through observation, documentation, and direct field surveys. Aerial photos were obtained from the drone, along with ground photography using a GPS map camera and the drone itself. Data analysis was conducted using Agisoft Metashape Professional and ArcGIS 10.8 software to map the distribution of marine debris accumulation points. The drone monitoring results allowed us to describe the characteristics and variations in types of marine debris, with plastic waste dominating, followed by glass, rubber, and fabric debris. The DJI Phantom 4 Pro unmanned aerial vehicle produced high-resolution aerial photos, enabling the identification of the distribution of marine debris accumulation points at Sindulang Beach and the creation of distribution maps along the Sindulang coastal area. The mapping results provide valuable information about the distribution of debris on Sindulang Beach. Based on the monitoring results using the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone, it was found that approximately 80% of the intertidal area at Sindulang Beach was covered by debris, indicating a significant level of pollution. Keywords: Marine Debris, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Sindulang Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kemampuan pesawat tanpa awak DJI Phantom 4 Pro dalam pemantauan titik kumpul sebaran marine debris serta menganalisis karakteristik marine debris yang terdampar di Pantai Sindulang. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan deskriptif dengan metode survei lapangan, termasuk pengumpulan data melalui observasi, dokumentasi, dan survei langsung. Foto udara diperoleh dari drone dan pemotretan darat menggunakan kamera GPS Map serta drone. Data dianalisis menggunakan perangkat lunak Agisoft Metashape Professional dan ArcGIS 10.8 untuk memetakan sebaran titik kumpul sampah laut. Hasil pemantauan dari drone memungkinkan kita untuk mendeskripsikan karakteristik dan variasi jenis sampah laut, dengan dominasi sampah plastik diikuti oleh sampah kaca, karet, dan kain. Pesawat tanpa awak DJI Phantom 4 Pro menghasilkan foto udara dengan resolusi tinggi, yang memungkinkan identifikasi sebaran titik kumpul sampah di Pantai Sindulang serta pembuatan peta sebarannya di sepanjang pesisir laut Sindulang. Hasil pemetaan ini memberikan informasi yang berharga tentang penyebaran sampah di pantai Sindulang. Berdasarkan hasil pemantauan menggunakan Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) / Drone, ditemukan bahwa sekitar 80% area pasang surut di pantai Sindulang telah tercakup oleh sampah, menunjukkan tingkat pencemaran yang signifikan.
