    EG Marine Litter

    The HELCOM Expert Group on Marine Litter was established to (i) facilitate the implementation of
    the Regional Action Plan on Marine Litter, (ii) develop regional core indicators on marine litter and (iii) carry
    out regional assessments on occurrence and impacts of marine litter in the Baltic Sea.

    Pressure WG will regularly revisit the progress of the work of the network according to its Terms of Reference and will consider, together with State and Conservation WG, arrangements for further work beyond the time limited ToR.
