| dc.description | Nineteen presentations were made by NOWPAP Member States (China, Japan, Korea, and Russia), NOWPAP staff and FAO/UNEP Consultants, including a keynote speech and special lecture. Around 90 people participated in the workshop. Through the workshop, participants shared information on: (1) countermeasures
implemented in specific areas; (2) the reduction and prevention efforts implemented in each country; (3) countermeasures against fisheries-related marine litter; (4) coastal cleanup; (5) marine litter management policies and systems; and (6) regional actions
against marine litter, including in the neighbouring COBSEA Region. In the discussions of
each session, participants actively exchanged opinions in the pursuit of more effective
ways to solve marine litter problems. The information and opinions shared at this workshop
help develop a Regional Action Plan on marine litter in the NOWPAP Region. | |
