This document is the result of a collaborative and voluntary effort across the marine debris community in the Great Lakes. Actions will be carried out by interested partner organizations and participation in this plan does not constitute an endorsement of or commitment by all stakeholders or the NOAA Marine Debris Program.
The 2020 Great Lakes Marine Debris Action Plan was created by a voluntary, collaborative effort of 39 organizations from the United States and Canada to address marine debris through coordinated actions. This Action Plan encompasses work that will be undertaken in the next five years (2020-2025). The plan will be re-evaluated and updated in a mid-year review.
