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 donttrashagoodthing@gmail.com for further information on joining a working group.

​

During the May 2018 meeting we will develop targets and first steps for the three groups. Designated lead contacts will be listed on each working group sub-page.

​
