International meetings on marine litter
9 to 11 December
From 9 to 11 December, Cedre attended the quarterly meeting of the OSPAR Commission’s Intersessional Correspondence Group on Marine Litter (ICG-ML), held online.
As an expert within the French delegation and leader of the Beach Litter Expert Group (BLEG), Cedre presented the monitoring and assessment work on beach litter in the OSPAR area.
Following on from this, and again as part of the French delegation, Cedre took part in the biannual meeting of the MSFD Technical Group on Marine Litter (TG Marine Litter) on 12 December, also held online, which mainly focused on the development of a threshold value for assessing good ecological status for the ‘seabed litter’ indicator.
