Whilst, three EcoQOs relating to hypoxia and red-tide, pollutants (persistent toxic substances and metals), and marine litters (including microplastics) did not meet and one relating to invasive species could not be judged due to insufficient data sets. The biggest weak point for developing suitable EcoQOs and assessing status of ecosystem health could be insufficient meta-data sets available and/or discrepancy in methodological details cross the data-sets or between the two targeted countries. Thus, the cooperation of neighboring countries, viz., Korea and China for the Yellow Sea, is necessary for the ecosystem based management of our regional sea in the future. Overall, this first time review for the assessment of target tentative EcoQOs in the Yellow Sea region encompassing coasts of Korea and China would provide a better understanding of the current status of environmental pollution and ecosystem health. | Land-based; Sea-based | Not specified | Guidelines and standards; Survey and monitoring/pollution status | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA |

The common research thrust of the Southeast Asian countries is to survey and monitor the state of marine plastic pollution. There is also great potential for research on ecological and environmental impacts to expand beyond enumerating plastics within organisms. Processes leading to plastics in the waters like sources of plastic leakage, accumulation zones and hotspots received less attention comparatively. Despite this, it is recommended to examine sources of plastic leakages, paying close attention to contribution from rivers in Southeast Asia. Lastly, efforts are observed within countries but there is no report of regional collaborative work. | Land-based; Sea-based | Not specified | Legal and regulatory analysis ; Policy; Compliance and implementation; Survey and monitoring/pollution status | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA |

To disentangle propellers, 3.1 divers were needed on average per case. Propeller entanglement occurred in all local seas and some of these areas showed increases over time. Our study highlights that the impact of DFG on navigational threats has been persistent and ubiquitous and can potentially be reduced by preventing DFG in fishing areas, with a focus on improved management by fishermen and government and with more efficient retrieval of derelict fishing gear. Further research is needed to understand the impacts on navigation, such as the impact on fishing, passenger, and shipping vessels; damage due to engine clogging, cooling water intake, and engine failure; and direct and indirect costs related to the disentanglement of DFG, such as retardation, movement to harbor, hiring divers and equipment, fuel, labor, and repairs. For fundamental prevention, the Korean government should collect more information on gear type, relevant fishing activities, and sources. In terms of local seas, the YS and the SSe require more focused damage reduction efforts. | From 2010 to 2015, an average of 397.7 cases per year was associated with derelict fishing gear entanglement for about 170 ROKN ships and there were no ships that avoided entanglement for more than a year | Fisheries | Socioeconomic impact (Economic loss); Contribution from fisheries/ALDFG | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA |

In particular, Vietnamese law should strictly require ships under 400 tons of gross tonnage and fishing vessels to collect and manage plastic waste. 4. Vietnam also needs to revise the National Technical Regulation on Marine Pollution Prevention Systems of Ships. 5. A new regulation to be adopted which include: types of ships affected, range and types of waste allowed to be discharged, types of waste not allowed to be discharged, placards, waste management system, record and storing garbage record book, and receiving facilities garbage at seaports. 6.

The highest numbers were observed in Prachuap Khiri Khan province. Urban centers, harbor areas, and industrial discharge sites can be considered as potential entry pathways for microplastics. Plastic fibers may to some extent be related to the fishing industry, due to the wear and tear of fishing nets. Other potential sources of microfibers are laundering and washing processes. Our study clearly shows the impact of human activities, being a major source of plastic pollution. Rivers probably serve as the transport medium for microplastics originating from businesses located on their banks (e.g., aquaculture). Although anthropogenic factors may largely obscure the impact of environmental factors, the preliminary results of this study indicate an influence of the ocean surface circulation direction on the deposition of microplastics on sandy beaches. A positive SCD index (landward) leads to higher microplastic concentrations in beach sand. Even though there is no statistically significant correlation, the SCD index reflects the relative changes in microplastic amounts. Follow-up studies are crucial for a scientifically authoritative statement. | impact of human activities, being a major source of plastic pollution in coastal zones, such as Fishing industry & Fishermen villages, Aquaculture, Hotels & Houses, Plantations/Farming, Car parking, Proximity of roads. | Aquaculture; Fisheries; Non industrial human coastal activities; Land-based | Survey and monitoring/pollution status | Yes | Yes | Transparent; White; Black; Blue; Red; Green; Purple; Other | Yes | Fibre; Sheet; Pellet; Line; Fragment; Foam | No | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | range from 20 to 273 (max. 5741) pieces/kg | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA |

The greatest one relates to the lack of provisions to prevent, reduce and control marine debris. The umbrella acts, Law 32/2009 and Law 32/2014 do not have policies and concrete measures to prevent marine plastic pollution. Thus, there are practical difficulties in applying and enforcing the laws and regulations to prevent and reduce dumping of plastic bags and disposal of plastic waste from ships at sea. There is a lack of commitment from the Indonesian government to tackle marine debris issues. There is an urgent need to amend Law 32/2009 and Law 32/2014 by implementing the Honolulu Strategy and SDG 14.1. To prevent ship-source plastics pollution, Indonesia needs to amend Government Regulation No. 37/2002 to prohibit dumping of persistent plastics and other persistent synthetic materials in conformity with 1972 London Convention. | Land-based | Land-based | Legal or regulatory analysis | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA |

Nevertheless, waste management has not been a government priority. Challenges include policy orientation, economic problems, cultural issues, and resources. The author suggests developing a center of national strategic activities related to the socio economic of coastal areas, developing cross-sectoral policy and laws on coastal areas, establishing priority programmes on sovereignty, security and safety as well as environmentality. | Land-based | Land-based | Policy | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | Bottles, food packaging, household appliances | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA |
