This research was carried out with the aim of identifying the type, amount, weight and abundance of marine debris found in the Gampong Lhok Beach area, Seunagan, Kuala Tadu. Implemented in February 2025. The method used is the shoreline method, namely the sample unit starts from the shoreline area by drawing a transect line 100 meters long and the width follows the shape of the shoreline, namely 16 meters. Marine debris analysis was carried out at the Marine Chemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Syiah Kuala University using visual identification. The results of the research showed that 9 types of marine waste were found, with macro marine waste, the plastic type found to be the most dominant at station 2, namely plastic, 575 units of waste were found with an abundance value of 0,375 units/m², followed by 556 units at station 1 with an abundance value of 0.347 units/m² and at station 3 there were 132 units found with an abundance value of 0.082 unit/m2. Keywords: Marine debris, shoreline, macro marine debris, abundance of marine debris, weight of debris.
