Abstract

Marine debris is a pollution problem that has occurred everywhere, even in the waters of remote areas. Marine debris pollution has been detected from ocean waters to bay waters. The waters of Ambon Bay as part of the sea as a whole have also been polluted by marine debris. This is evidenced by the presence of debris stranded on the coast of Hative Besar. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the composition of the type and density of debris stranded on the coast of Hative Besar. Sampling was carried out using the transect method. The results showed that there were eight types of waste, namely plastic, glass and ceramics, cloth, metal, paper, rubber, wood, and medical object. Plastic is the debris with the highest type composition, both on the coast of Wailaa at 90% and Batu Lobang at 89%. The density of plastic debris at the Wailaa area is 50 items/m2, while the Batu Lobang area is 44.91 items/m2. In addition, as a result of the pandemic that occurred, medical object was found, namely masks. The high level of plastic debris in Ambon Bay waters needs to be an important concern because this type of plastic waste is difficult to decompose and the residence time in the environment reaches hundreds of years. The existence of plastic debris is a threat to marine resources in Ambon Bay waters.   ABSTRAK Sampah laut merupakan masalah pencemaran yang telah banyak terjadi dimana-mana, bahkan sampai pada perairan daerah terpencil. Pencemaran sampah laut telah terdeteksi dari perairan samudera hingga perairan teluk. Perairan Teluk Ambon sebagai bagian dari laut secara keseluruhan juga telah tercemar sampah laut. Hal ini terbukti dengan adanya sampah yang terdampar di pesisir pantai Hative Besar. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui komposisi jenis serta kepadatan sampah yang terdampar di pesisir pantai Hative Besar. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode transek. Hasil penelitian menunjukan terdapat delapan jenis sampah yaitu plastik, beling dan keramik, kain, logam, kertas, karet, kayu, dan medis. Plastik merupakan sampah dengan komposisi jenis tertinggi baik pada pesisir pantai Wailaa sebesar 90% maupun Batu Lobang sebesar 89%. Kepadatan sampah plastik pada lokasi Wailaa sebesar 50 item/m2, sedangkan lokasi Batu Lobang sebesar 44,91 item/m2. Selain itu, akibat dari pandemi yang terjadi sehingga ditemukan sampah medis yaitu masker. Tingginya sampah plastik di perairan Teluk Ambon, perlu menjadi perhatian penting karena jenis sampah plastik sulit terurai dan waktu tinggal di lingkungan mencapai ratusan tahun. Keberadaan sampah plastik merupakan ancaman bagi sumberdaya laut perairan Teluk Ambon.   Kata Kunci: Sampah laut, plastik, pencemaran, pantai, Hative Besar
