Draft Northern Ireland Marine Litter StrategyMarine litter is a global problem which can be a threat to ecosystems, has socio-economic costs and can also pose a threat to human health. Following comprehensive stakeholder engagement, DOE has produced a Draft Northern Ireland Marine Litter Strategy (the Draft Strategy) which aims to address the levels of marine litter present on our coast.
The Draft Strategy seeks to build on the strengths of existing measures, identify proposals that will help overcome weaknesses, and maximise opportunities and minimise threats to addressing the levels of litter present in the coastal and marine environment.
