A two day conference about marine litter in the Baltic Sea hosted by Keep Sweden Tidy About the conference: Marine litter has not been considered a major problem in the Baltic Sea, still there has been a huge knowledge gap about the amounts and sources of marine litter. During the Baltic Marine Litter project, beach litter has been monitored on the shores of the Baltic Sea, using a standardised method developed by UNEP/Regional Seas. Responsible authorities of implementing the Marine Strategy Framework Directive will present national challenges concerning marine litter. Representatives from NGOs, the tourism sector, shipping sector and waste management experts will also be there to discuss actions and good examples to reduce litter entering the environment.
