## Notice

Defra will fund the Commonwealth Marine Litter Programme (CLIP), which will be led by the UK through the Centre for Environment Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas). The programme will support up to six developing countries across the Commonwealth to develop national litter action plans focusing on plastics entering the oceans. The programme will contribute to the UK meeting its responsibilities under the Commonwealth Blue Charter, which calls for Commonwealth countries to drive action and share expertise on issues affecting the world's oceans, including marine litter. CLIP will contribute to delivering the objectives under the UK and Vanuatu-led Commonwealth Clean Oceans Alliance (CCOA), which calls on other countries to pledge action on plastics, be this by a ban on microbeads, a commitment to cutting down on single use plastic bags, or other steps to eliminate avoidable plastic waste. CCOA also promotes actions in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 14 (life below water) to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, as well as contributing to the UK Government's 25 Year Environment Plan.
