Overview of activities of regional seas programmes on marine litter

Pieces of marine litter can also transport invasive species between seas.

The overall objective of the currently scheduled project is to seek sustainable management of marine litter in the NOWPAP region in line with the sources, quantities and adverse effects of marine litter.
