Full Title
Update from the Intersessional Correspondence Group on Marine Debris
Author
Simmonds And Warrie
Authors Summary
The Intersessional Correspondence Group (ICG) provided an update on progress of work and outlined the focus for the next intersessional period, particularly in regard to the Resolution on Marine Plastic Pollution endorsed at IWC68.
The Scientific Committe was asked for input on - standardised data collection of marine debris-cetacean interactions; and
- existing work on the spatial dimension of species-human drivers interactions in a marine context which could prove useful in preparing the work for identifying hotspots.

Abstract
The Intersessional Correspondence Group (ICG) provides input to both the Scientific and Conservation Committees. It continues to monitor developments on this topic, which is now in the context of the Resolution agreed at the last meeting of the Commission (IWC68). How the IWC can best assist in collecting and collating relevant information and how to identify hot spots of cetacean-marine debris interactions are ongoing focuses for the group.
