Unraveling Microplastic Pollution in Mangrove Sediments of Butuan Bay, Philippines

Carl Kenneth P. Navarro et al.

Summary: The mass production and consumption of plastics have serious effects on the environment and human health. This study investigated the prevalence of microplastics in mangrove sediments and identified six polymer types. Nasipit had the highest microplastic density. These findings provide important baseline information for addressing plastic pollution issues in the area.

Occurrence and distribution of microplastics in beach sediments along Phuket coastline

Pensiri Akkajit et al.

Summary: This study examined the distribution of microplastics found on beaches along the East and West coasts of Phuket, suggesting that highly visited tourist beaches with harbor activities could be potential sources of microplastics. White and fiber plastics were the most abundant types identified, with PET, regenerated cellulose, PP, and PU showing correlations with specific beaches.

The nexus of macroplastic and microplastic research and plastic regulation policies in the Philippines marine coastal environments

Van Ryan Kristopher R. Galarpe et al.

Summary: The Philippines is reported as a top contributor of plastic pollution to marine coastal environments, but research on macroplastics and microplastics is still in its infancy with methodological and technological constraints. While government efforts are underway to enforce plastic regulation policies, it is unclear if local research on plastic pollution has influenced these policies. The connection between research and policy enforcement remains unclear, presenting gaps that require further work to establish effective plastic regulation policies.
