The Regional Collaborative Research and Capacity Building for Monitoring and Reduction of Marine Debris from Fisheries in Southeast Asia was conducted once again in the waters of Sungsang, Musi River Estuary, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra, Indonesia, from 17 to 20 November 2025. This activity is part of a continuous debris monitoring program in the Musi River aimed at understanding the conditions and dynamics of debris in the area. This project is supported through the Japan–ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) 2025.

During this activity, the research team collected sediment, water, and fish samples, as well as drone imagery to map the surface conditions of the waters. The research also focused on examining the potential accumulation and transport of floating macroplastics using a hydrodynamic model. This comprehensive approach provides a clearer understanding of the movement patterns of plastic waste and helps identify areas with a high potential for debris accumulation.
