This publication is intended to provide information for the general public, governments and private sector on the marine litter problem and its solutions in the NOWPAP region. The publication consists of two parts (which were published separately by NOWPAP in 2007): - Part I: Regional Overview of Marine Litter in the NOWPAP Region; and - Part II: NOWPAP Regional Action Plan on Marine Litter.
Implementation of NOWPAP contributes to the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities (GPA) in the Northwest Pacific region.
