The Honolulu Strategy : a global framework for prevention and management of marine debris Global framework for prevention and management of marine debris

"The Honolulu Strategy is a framework document. It does not supplant or supersede activities of national authorities, municipalities, industry, international organizations, or other stakeholders; rather, it provides a focal point for improved collaboration and coordination among the multitude of stakeholders across the globe concerned with marine debris. Successful implementation of it will require participation and support on multiple levels-global, regional, national, and local-involving the full spectrum of civil society, government and intergovernmental organizations, and the private sector"--Executive summary. UNEP ; NOAA. "The Honolulu Strategy was developed with the support and assistance of scientists, practitioners, managers, and the private sector from around the world. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program provided technical and financial support throughout the development process before, during, and after the Fifth International Marine Debris Conference. UNEP's technical consultant, Ms. Seba Sheavly (Sheavly Consultants), gathered input from marine debris experts and practitioners to develop the draft elements of the Honolulu Strategy that was provided to participants during the Fifth International Marine Debris Conference. NOAA's technical consultants, Dr. Kitty Courtney (Tetra Tech Inc.) and Mr. John Parks, (Marine Consultants, LLC) developed and refined the framework for the Honolulu Strategy through a pre-conference workshop and incorporated comments after the conference to produce the Draft and Final versions of the Honolulu Strategy."
