Abstract
Marine debris is an object that is produced by human activities and is wasted around the coast or marine environment. The research aims to examine the composition, density, frequency, coverage of seagrass, and abundance of macro marine debris and to determine the relationship between total macro marine debris abundance and total seagrass density in Tidung Kecil Island. Observation of marine debris and seagrass samples was carried out using the seagrasswatch method. The relationship between marine debris abundance and seagrass density is knowing by linear regression and pearson correlation. The composition of seagrass in Tidung Kecil Island was found in four species Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, and Halophila ovalis. The highest density of seagrass species was E. acoroides and the lowest was H. ovalis. The highest frequency of seagrass species was T. hemprichii and the lowest was H. ovalis. The highest type of seagrass cover was T. hemprichii and the lowest was H. ovalis. The highest abundance of macro marine debris is plastic and the lowest is metal. The relationship between the abundance of macro marine debris and the abundance of seagrass species is negative.
