Dispersion of surface floating plastic marine debris from Indonesian waters using hydrodynamic and trajectory models.

Plastic waste has become the most significant component of marine debris, while research on traces of marine plastic waste related to the condition of Indonesian waters is still limited. Therefore, this study examines the movement patterns of plastic marine debris in Indonesian waters. Simulations were carried out for one year (2013) using the HAMburg Shelf Ocean Model (hydrodynamic model) and Lagrange trajectory.
