Abstract

Microplastics are defined as plastic particles 1 m to <5mm in diameter that is widely distributed on beaches and oceans. Microplastics are composed of synthetic polymers. Synthetic polymers are widely used in various needs, especially in food and beverage packaging. The aim of the study was to determine the amount and type in Karapyak Beach and microplastic in the Holothuria digestion track. The research method used is a survey in the field and observations in the laboratory. The samples used are sediment, seawater, and Holothuria. The results showed that the number of microplastics in Karapyak Beach was 4 – 68 particles/m2. Microplastics are divided into 4 types, namely films, fibers, fragments, and pellets. The total microplastic in the digestive tract of sea cucumbers is between 3.28 – 3.47 particles/gram and microplastics in waters between 4.03 – 7.13 particles/liter.
