FORM SUBMITTED SUCCESSFULLY!

Thank you for your submission.

Please subscribe to the Back to Blue newsletter to receive updates on our progress.

We invite UN and government agencies, universities, scientific bodies, NGOs, private sector representatives, investors and individuals to share their views. We will publish, with your permission, selected submissions on our website. In 2023 we plan to publish a position paper which incorporates the views and suggestions contained in these submissions, and use these submissions to form the basis of a draft roadmap towards an inclusive and collaborative global solution to ocean pollution monitoring and data governance.


Your submission can contain any information that you think this relevant, however we particularly draw your attention to the following questions:

• Is there a genuine need for a global effort to address marine pollution data gaps? Why or why not?

• What would it take to support and build upon existing global data collection and governance bodies and frameworks to develop a comprehensive picture of marine pollution?

• Which organisations need to be involved to ensure success?

• How could existing bodies and frameworks be expanded to not just warehouse data but to usefully communicate it to the public and decision-makers in a way that drives meaningful change?
