Poor waste management and the use of single-use plastics have led to microplastic contamination in the environment, particularly in water bodies that serve as final dumping grounds for plastic waste. There is a high likelihood that microplastics are mistaken as food by marine organisms, including gastropods that feed through deposit feeding. This study was conducted in January to June 2025 at the Pasir Putih Beach with the aim of identifying the families of gastropods present in the estuary, as well as the abundance and characteristics of microplastics found throughout the gastropod organs. The research method employed purposive sampling, and data analysis was conducted descriptively. The dominant microplastics in the Pasir Putih Beach Estuary are fiber-type microplastics, with black being the predominant color, resulting from degradation due to UV radiation and physical ocean conditions. Microplastics with a size of <1 mm were most commonly found in the Pasir Putih Beach Estuary. Station 6 exhibited the highest microplastic abundance, totaling 2,120 particles/gram.
