Data were then statistically processed and analyzed using data mining software (MS Excel and Orange). The sampling technique adapted from the shoreline survey methodology designed by NOAA was used in the study. The aims of this study were (1) to identify the types of marine debris, and (2) to determine and compare the spatial distribution pattern of marine debris in the two designed locations. The research was conducted at Tasik Ria Beach, Tombariri, and Marine Field Station of the Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, Sam Ratulangi University in Likupang. There are various potentials of marine and beach tourism to attract tourists, but in turn, cause a waste disposal accumulation and coupled with the built-in garbage that comes from the sea. Marine debris is one of the biggest pollution problems in the world.
