Plastic pollution in mangroves located in small islands was not well documented. This study found that mangrove ecosystem in small island was polluted by plastic debris (mainly film: 63% and fiber: 31%). Density of plastic debris in mangrove area was ranging from 10 ± 4 items m⁻² to 230 ± 75 items m⁻², mean density was 92 ± 28 items m⁻². Landward was the most polluted zone mangrove (mean density: 155 ± 58 items m⁻²) or about 61% of plastic debris was distributed in this zone. This is corresponds to the sources of plastic waste was from land such as households and markets. Mean density of plastic debris was significantly correlated with mangrove health (r² = 0.59, p = 0.00). This indicated that plastic debris negatively affected mangrove ecosystem directly and indirectly. Effective land-based plastic waste management and actions such as regular beach cleanup are essential to reduce plastic pollution and to ensure mangrove conservation.

没有充分文献证明位于小岛上的红树林中的塑料污染。这项研究发现，小岛上的红树林生态系统被塑料碎片污染（主要是薄膜：63％，纤维：31％）。红树林地区塑料碎片的密度在10±4个m ^-2到230±75个m ^-2之间，平均密度为92±28个m ^-2。陆上是污染最严重的区域红树林（平均密度：155±58个项目m ^-2）或大约61％的塑料碎片分布在该区域。这对应于塑料废物的来源，这些废物来自诸如家庭和市场之类的土地。塑料碎片的平均密度与红树林健康显着相关（r ²  = 0.59，p = 0.00）。这表明塑料碎片直接或间接地影响了红树林生态系统。有效的陆基塑料废物管理和定期清理海滩等行动对于减少塑料污染和确保红树林保护至关重要。
