Sea-based sources of marine litter-A review of current knowledge and assessment of data gaps. Second Interim Report of GESAMP Working Group 43
Description
This second interim report builds on content initially presented in a first interim report on progress made by WG 43 from June – December 2019. Herein, WG43 fully addresses Term of Reference (ToR) 1 of the WG43: Identify sources of marine litter from sea-based sources, including but not limited to fishing operations, aquaculture, shipping, dumping of waste and other matter at sea and other sea-based sources (e.g. recreation). This second interim report also presents new and further work on WG43 ToR 2: Estimate the relative contribution and impacts of different sea-based sources of marine litter; ToR 4: Assess data gaps as identified under ToRs 1 to 3 and prioritize for further work; and ToR 6: Quantify the environmental, social and economic impacts of ALDFG.
