Target description |
By 2030 the marine litter abundance on Irelands coastline will be reduced to 20 litter items per 100 m. |
By 2030 the marine litter abundance on Irelands coastline will be reduced to 20 litter items per 100 m. |
By 2026, apply standardised methods for monitoring and assessment of microplastics in sediments and biota to determine marine microplastics hotspots and associated sources. |
By 2026, apply standardised methods for monitoring and assessment of microplastics in sediments and biota to determine marine microplastics hotspots and associated sources. |
The composition, amount and spatial distribution of litter in the coastline, and on the seabed, are at levels that do not cause harm to the coastal or marine environment. |
The composition, amount and spatial distribution of litter in the coastline, and on the seabed, are at levels that do not cause harm to the coastal or marine environment. |
By 2030 Ireland will reduce from a baseline of 2016 by at least 75% the prevalence of the most commonly found single-use plastic items and of maritime related plastic items on beaches in order to contribute to the achievement of relevant regional and EU threshold values building upon requirements for EU Member States in the EU Single Use Plastics Directive (Directive 2019/904). |
