Abstract

Indonesia's extensive tropical coastline faces significant environmental threats from marine debris, particularly plastic waste, exacerbated by the tourism industry's growth. This study examined the Tasikmalaya and Garut Coast (TGC) on the southern coast of West Java, focusing on marine debris and tourism impacts. Using the Sector Analysis approach, beaches were categorized into remote, rural, and village types, assessed through the Coastal Scenic Evaluation System and Coastal Clean Index. Remote beaches like Sancang Cikolomberan and Sancang Cetut maintain high scenic quality with minimal litter, while rural beaches such as Bubujung and Karang Tawulan show moderate scenic decline due to increased human activity. Village beaches like Cipatujah, Sindangkerta, and Pamayangsari face severe pollution, affecting both scenic and cleanliness values. The study suggests management options tailored to each type of beach, emphasizing nature tourism through the development of special interest tourism and sustainable mass tourism.
