Analysis of the Types and Abundance of Beach Debris in Fish Eyes Bay, Batam, Riau Islands

ABSTRAK

The study was conducted in May 2025 at Teluk Fish Eyes Beach, Batam, Riau Islands, to determine the types and differences in waste abundance. This study used a survey method with sampling locations divided into 3 stations consisting of 2 plots, consisting of the upper intertidal zone and the lower intertidal zone. Station 1 is located in a coastal tourist area that is frequently visited by local tourists. Station 2 is located at the ship port. Station 3 is in a residential area. The results showed that plastic waste dominated, with the highest abundance reaching 1.39 units/m² (59%) at Station 3. The lowest abundance was textile waste, with an abundance of 0.06 units/m² with a percentage of 3% at station 3. Overall, the upper intertidal zone had a higher average waste abundance than the lower zone. The results of the one-way Anova indicated a significant difference in waste abundance between stations (p = 0.011 < 0.05). Further LSD tests revealed significant differences among Stations 1, 2, and 3, except between Stations 2 and 3, which showed no significant difference. Meanwhile, the independent t-test produced a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.214 (0.214> 0.05), indicating no significant difference between the upper and lower zones. Differences in waste abundance are influenced by different activities at each station, resulting in different amounts of waste at each location.
