The alliance will bring together maritime and fisheries industry leaders, with the aim of developing innovative solutions to prevent and reduce ocean plastics, while addressing common barriers to the uptake of technologies and alternative approaches.
The OceanLitter GIA will be managed by IMO as part of its OceanLitter Programme – a portfolio of projects that includes the GloLitter Partnerships project (GloLitter) and Regional Litter Project (RegLitter). It will build on and replace the project-specific GIA established previously under the GloLitter project.
Expressions of Interest must be submitted to oceanlitter@imo.org. For guidance and further information, see the IMO news item here or the Circular Letter 4877/Rev.1 for the call for expression of interest to join OceanLitter GIA.
