Plastic waste has become one of the most serious threats to the marine environment. Among the plastic waste that is of particular concern are microplastics because of their small size. The purpose of this study was to analyze the level of microplastic intake through fish consumption in the coastal area of Tamasaju Village, North Galesong, Takalar Regency. This research is a type of qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The samples in this study were 30 respondents and 20 fish with the types of mackerel and red kurisi fish. Data obtained by interview using questionnaires, identification of microplastics in fish in the laboratory, and identification of polymer types using FTIR spectroscopy. The results showed that the total number of microplastics found was 18 particles. The type of microplastic found was a line shape with different color and size variations, with the blue line dominating, namely 77.77%. The average concentration of microplastics found in fish was 3.1 mg/kg, with polystyrene polymer content. It is known that the average intake of non-carcinogenic microplastics by the community is 0.04 mg/kg/day (non-carcinogenic) and as much as 0.02 mg/ kg/day (carcinogenic). This shows that the intake of microplastics by humans through fish consumption is still categorized as safe.
