Why is Marine Debris a Global Environmental Problem?
According to United Nations-Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner, Marine Debris – trash in our oceans – is a symptom of our throw-away society and our approach to how we use our natural resources.
This document focuses on plastic debris and identifies impacts on ecosystem and economies. One of the key challenges of the Marine Debris problem is how to reduce the quantity of plastic debris entering marine and freshwaters environments. The problems of Marine Debris are now recognised internationally alongside other major global challenges facing the marine environment such as loss of biodiversity, acidification and sea level rise. It was prepared on behalf of the Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) of the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
