Penelitian kepadatan mesoplastik di Kabupaten Pidie bertujuan untuk
mengetahui dan menganalisis jenis dan kepadatan mesoplastik di dua
titik sampling, yaitu Pantai Blang Raya dan Pantai Sagoe. Penelitian
dilakukan pada bulan Juni 2022. Terbentang garis sepanjang 100
meter. Pada transek menetap, dibuat sub transek berukuran 5 x 5 m
dan dibagi menjadi 25 kotak sampel berukuran 1 x 1 m. Pengambilan
sampel dilakukan dalam 5 kotak acak berukuran 1 x 1 m. Hasil
menunjukkan bahwa ada lima jenis mesoplastik, yaitu fragmen, film,
pelet, serat dan busa. Kepadatan mesoplastik lebih tinggi di Pantai
Blang Raya dengan total kelimpahan 0,0299 gram/m² dibandingkan
Pantai Sagoe dengan total kelimpahan 0,0184 gram/m². Pada
penelitian ini, kelimpahan jenis fragmen mesoplastik paling banyak
ditemukan dari jenis mesoplastik lainnya.

A research an mesoplastic density in Pidie Regency aimed to determine and analyze the type and the density of mesoplastic at two sampling point, which were Blang Raya Beach and Sagoe Beach. The study was conducted in June 2022. Strandiy a 100 meters line stransect. In the settled transect, a sub-transect 5 x 5 m was drawn and it was divided in to 25 sampling boxes of 1 x 1 m. Sampling was carried with in 5 randomized boxes of 1 x 1 m. Result show that there were five types of mesoplastics, namely fragments, films, pellets, fiber and foam. Mesoplastic density was higher at Blang Raya Beach with a total abundance of 0.0299 grams/m² compared to Sagoe Beach with a total abundance of 0.0184 grams/m². In this study, the mesoplastic abundance of fragment types was most commonly found from other types of mesoplastics.
