Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the significant presence of microplastics (MPs) in water and sediment from milkfish aquaculture ponds in Gresik, Indonesia, showing the types and abundance of MPs present.
- Researchers identified four types of MPs—fragments, fibers, films, and pellets—most abundant in March, with sizes predominantly between 100-500 μm in water samples and below 100 μm in sediments.
- The findings link human activities to the pollution levels of MPs, emphasizing the need for better waste management policies to protect local aquatic ecosystems and enhance the health of farmed fish.
Priorities to inform research on marine plastic pollution in Southeast Asia.

October 2022
Southeast Asia is considered to have some of the highest levels of marine plastic pollution in the world. It is therefore vitally important to increase our understanding of the impacts and risks of plastic pollution to marine ecosystems and the essential services they provide to support the development of mitigation measures in the region. An interdisciplinary, international network of experts (Australia, Indonesia, Ireland, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam) set a research agenda for marine plastic pollution in the region, synthesizing current knowledge and highlighting areas for further research in Southeast Asia.
