Hawaii Marine Debris Action Plan
(HI-MDAP) http://marinedebris.noaa.gov/projects/pdfs/09himdap.pdf
PROJECT STORY
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program (MDP) has been a partner in efforts to combat marine debris in Hawaii since 2005.The MDP works in cooperation with partners across the US and internationally to address marine debris. Around the Hawaiian Archipelago, a number of efforts are taking place to address the impacts of marine debris. In order to prioritize Hawaii marine debris issues, the MDP is leading the coordination of the first statewide
action plan to address marine debris in Hawaii.
FOCUS AREAS
Participants identified marine debris actions in five separate focus areas:
• Research & Assessment
• Outreach
• Land-based Debris Prevention
• Beach Cleanup
• Reef (In-water) Debris Removal
LESSONS LEARNED
1) the importance of focusing on impacts to determine priorities; 2) the value of engaging the entire marine debris community early in the planning process; and
3) the asset of having all marine debris partners together to share in the planning process.
NEXT STEPS
The completed Hawaii Marine Debris Action Plan will be rolled out to decision makers and potential funders in November 2009.
