Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untuk mengidentifikasi jenis, jumlah, berat dan kelimpahan sampah laut yang ditemukan di kawasan Pantai Gampong lhok, Seunagan, Kuala Tadu. Dilaksanakan dalam bulan februari 2025. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode shoreline, yaitu unit sampel dimulai dari area garis pantai dengan ditarik garis transek sepanjang 100 meter dan lebar mengikuti sesuai dengan bentuk garis pantai yaitu 16 meter. Analisis sampah laut dilaksanakan di Laboratorium Kimia Laut Fakultas Kelautan dan Perikanan, Universitas Syiah Kuala dengan identifikasi secara visual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ditemukan 9 jenis sampah laut, dengan sampah laut makro jenis plastik ditemukan paling mendominasi di stasiun 2 adalah plastik, ditemukan sebanyak 575 unit sampah dengan nilai kelimpahan 0,359 unit/m2 di ikuti stasiun 1 ditemukan sebanyak 556 unit dengan nilai kelimpahan 0,347 unit/m2 dan di stasiun 3 ditemukan sebanyak 132 unit dengan nilai kelimpahan 0,082 unit/m2.

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.
