Globally plastic pollution is posing a significant threat to the health and integrity of coastal ecosystems. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of plastic pollution in the coastal areas of Bangladesh by examining land-based macroplastic distribution, exploring microplastic (MP) contamination in the coastal aquatic ecosystem and enhancing our understanding of the potential risks associated with MP contamination. Citizen science based monitoring approach using the android application was applied to understand the land-based plastic pollution in the coastal area of Bangladesh.

- * This study developed an integrated coastal ecosystem monitoring system that combines scientific sampling, numerical simulations, and citizen science to monitor the Southeast coastal zone of Bangladesh from January 2022 to April 2023.
- * Results showed that citizen scientists' observations on temperature, salinity, fisheries, and pollution aligned well with scientific data, demonstrating that this integrated approach can successfully monitor coastal ecosystems even in areas with limited resources.
