Implement the National Plan for Reducing Marine Pollution (PALM 2028) Directorate General for Natural Resources, Safety and Maritime Services (DGRM) ( Government ) #OceanAction59119 Description SDGs & Targets SDG 14 targets covered Deliverables & timeline Resources mobilized Progress reports Description Description The Portuguese Marine Litter Action Plan, approved by the Council of Ministers Resolution no. 148/2024, aims to reduce the entry of plastics and other waste into the sea and promote good practices to mitigate the environmental impact of marine litter until 2028, responding to the various obligations of the Portuguese State, namely the international commitments arising from: (i) the Marine Strategy Framework Guideline which identifies marine litter as one of the 11 descriptors of good marine environmental status; (ii) the Regional Action Plan for Marine Litter of the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic, which responds to the Environmental Strategy for the North-East Atlantic 2030; (iii) the European Strategy on Plastics, adopted on 16 January 2018 by the European Commission, which aims to contribute to the European Union's transition to a broad circular economy and to the achievement of the SDGs; (iv) the European Green Deal and the 2030 targets set by the Zero Pollution Action Plan to reduce by half the amount of plastic in Member States' marine waters and by one third the emissions of microplastics into the environment. The implementation of the PALM28 comprises the accomplishment of 50 specific actions, aimed to reduce land-based waste and encouraging circularity, as well as promoting measures to reduce pollution in port basins and increase knowledge and innovation. Measures have also been established to raise awareness among coastal and fishing communities.
