The community service program (CSP) aims to disseminate research results from the KK-OS to the wider community. Marine debris is one of the latest issues that is widely discussed, particularly on its influence to the coastal and marine ecosystem. Marine debris which mostly comes from plastic material is threatening the survival of marine life. Reporting from the World Economic Forum in 2016, there were 150 million tons of plastic in the ocean. For this reason, data collection is needed both qualitatively and quantitatively related to marine and coastal debris. The data collection of marine debris can be initiated through marine debris monitoring activities. In addition, marine debris monitoring will be more effective if it involves active participation from the community. In line with the rapid development of technology in the Industrial 4.0 era and supported by many people who are "literate" the internet or commonly referred to as citizens, it is not an impossible thing to realize it all. Therefore, Marine Debris Reporter app was developed to overcome the issue. This app available online at Google Play Store and Apple App Store. We believes it is necessary to introduce an innovative waste management system for young generation, especially high school students. By utilizing the app,they can learn the meaning of ecosystem management and waste cleanliness from basic. In this community service activity, insights were shared about waste management to the use of waste into commercial products, such as accessories from plastic waste to teachers and high school students in Cirebon.
