Summary

This review examines the sources, environmental and socioeconomic effects, and policy responses to marine plastic pollution, finding that while scientific knowledge is substantial, policy and regulatory initiatives have so far been inadequate and inconsistent across countries. The paper calls for stronger international coordination and more effective governance tools to meaningfully reduce plastic inputs to the ocean.

Study Type Environmental

Marine plastic pollution has been an increasing problem for many years, and plastic products in use today are a crucial source of ocean pollution. While an increasing number of studies have announced the environmental, social and economic influences of marine plastic pollution in a multitude of ways, little research has focused on policy and general assembly tools for reducing plastic pollution. This paper concentrates on the analysis of marine litter sources and effects and policies, with current actions being taken in various countries and locations around the world. Existing knowledge provides a strong basis for useful action. However, policies and other initiatives to date have been largely inadequate. While some approaches are effective, some issues remain in practice. Such as poorly enforced and technically expensive legislation, and a lack of public education. Furthermore, the extents and dynamics of all pioneering spirits are distinctly different, and at present there is a lack of coordination at all levels and close cooperation between them.
