Abstract
This research aims to examine how the impact of plastic litter and waste pollution on the coast of Lampung Bay has a socio-economic impact on the lives of fishermen in Sukaraja. One of the main threats to marine and coastal sustainability is marine and coastal pollution from land-based human activities. The fishing community is the community group that most feels the impact of marine and coastal pollution. Fishermen in Sukaraja on the coast of Lampung Bay have to deal with plastic litter and waste pollution daily. This research study shows that the life of Sukaraja fishermen is severely affected by plastic and waste pollution that pollutes the sea and coastal areas of Lampung Bay. Besides, this research also shows that the waste pollution in Lampung Bay comes from industrial waste in the city, while plastic waste originates from domestic waste from surrounding residents, ocean currents, and river waste that empties into the sea. The method used in this research is the historical method. Besides, this research is also complemented by an oral history research method which is based on interviews of historical actors and witnesses from predetermined topics and temporalities.KEYWORDS: coastal, fishermen, pollution, Sukaraja, Lampung Bay
