Southeast Marine Debris Action Plan

This document is the result of a collaborative and voluntary effort across the marine debris community in the Southeast. 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 2019 Southeast Marine Debris Action Plan is a compilation of recommended objectives, strategies, and actions to address marine debris in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. It is a collaborative effort between the federal, state, and local governments, non-governmental organizations, academia, and industry, and aims to coordinate and galvanize new action to address everyday marine debris and debris generated by disasters throughout the Southeast.
