This document is the result of a collaborative and voluntary effort across the marine debris community in the Gulf of Maine. 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 Gulf of Maine Marine Debris Action Plan was created by a voluntary, collaborative effort of 30 organizations from the United States and Canada to address marine debris through coordinated actions over five years (2019 - 2024). The plan was re-evaluated and updated in 2022.
