Pacific islands are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of marine litter, due to the particular value and sensitivity of their coastal environments.
To discuss this issue and the tools that can be used in the struggle against this marine litter problem (awareness, clean-ups, audits, etc.), the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), through the AFD-Funded SWAP (Committing to Sustainable Waste Actions in the Pacific) project hosted a two-hour virtual meeting in April 2022.
