Target description
Tends to decrease the number/quantity of marine litter present on the coasts, in the top layer of the water column, on the seabed, and the rate of increase in marine litter and micro-litter in surface layer of the water column by reducing the input and increasing the collection of waste at sea, and on coastlines.
The trend in the amount of waste ingested by marine animals is decreasing.
Knowledge gaps in the origin, status, composition, dispersion and impacts of marine litter are reduced through the increase of survey programmes.
