WORKING GROUPS
All of our partners have their specialties and interests when it comes to trash related issues. In 2017 members decided to form working groups to focus on specific pathways towards marine debris reduction.
The working groups are comprised of members that are already engaged in an activity or are interested in promoting/ developing a strategy for the partnership. Members are encouraged to participate in any or all groups if they wish. Interested partners should email for further information on joining a working group.
In early 2020, we held our first working group meetings. We have now provided member only access to the working group pages as a place for partners to collaborate and share messages. Designated lead contacts will be listed on each working group sub-page.
