About POLP The Pacific Ocean Litter Project (POLP) is about reducing the volume of single-use plastics ending up as marine litter in Pacific coastal environments. The 7-year project (2019-2027) is funded with AUD 16 million from the Australian Government and implemented by SPREP in collaboration with the governments and peoples of Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. POLP will support the phase-out of specific types of single-use plastics from land-based sources, including household litter and tourism waste. It will also support behaviour change in the users, consumers and producers of plastics and the introduction of alternative products. For more information on POLP, visit: www.sprep.org/polp

The pristine beaches, vibrant forests and colourful reefs of the 992 islands of Solomon Islands are threatened by increasing plastic litter arriving on its shores and from discarded plastic waste locally.

By 2050, scientists predict there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. Plastic pollution is a global problem that everyone can help to solve. Heed the call from our children and be part of a collection to beat plastic pollution.
