Indonesia is referred to as the second largest contributor of marine plastic waste in the world after China, with an estimated 0.48-1.29 million metric tons per year (Jambeck et al, 2015). The main problem today is the lack of information about pollution of marine debris on the coast, especially in North Sulawesi. This study aims to identify the type of marine debris on Tasik Ria Beach using the transect line observation method. Observation of marine debris was carried out 5 times with a total of 10 transects between February and April 2019. Data analysis was carried out using several software namely Microsoft Excel, Statgraphics, and JMP. The analysis technique used is EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis) with GDA (Graphical Data Analysis) as the main approach. Of the various types of debris obtained, plastic debris is the most commonly found, as many as 189 items, followed by glass 97 items, wood and derivatives of 11 items, rubber 5 items and clothes 2 items. Based on the results of the study, the type of macro debris is the most common category of debris at the study site. The total number of macro-debris collected in ten observation transects was 316 items with a total weight of 118.62 gr/m2, while meso-debris had only 6 items with a total weight of 7.18 gr/m2. The percentage of macro-debris composition found on Tasik Ria beach is plastic (58.15%), glass (29.85%), metal (6.52%), wood and derivatives (3.42%), rubber (1, 55%) and clothes (0.62%). These results can illustrate the potential for events where plastic is the dominant component of marine debris on the coast, specifically in the District of Tombariri, Minahasa Regency.Keywords: Marine debris, Macro-debris, Category, Composition, Tasik Ria ABSTRAKIndonesia disebut sebagai kontributor sampah plastik ke laut terbesar kedua di dunia setelah Tiongkok, dengan estimasi 0,48-1,29 juta metrik ton per tahun (Jambeck et al, 2015).
