Conference WelcomeOn behalf of the conference committee, it is our pleasure to welcome you all to Honolulu and the Fifth International Marine Debris Conference! From the beginning, this conference was envisioned as something a little different. We aimed for something more than simply a policy workshop, a science conference, or an intergovernmental session. As a global issue with a myriad of sources and impact, the problem of marine debris cannot be solved without broad support, engagement, and recognition that no single entity will be able to fix the problem alone.

This conference is laying the foundation for cooperation to occur at many different levels, across interests and sectors, and into the future with the creation of the Honolulu Strategy, which has been introduced to all of you through pre-conference emails. The Honolulu Strategy is a framework we hope you will employ as you plan and evaluate your marine debris action plans. You will learn more about it within the pages of this program, at the Monday morning plenary, and throughout the Conference, and we look forward to your ideas, input, and how you will use the Strategy to propel your actions to address marine debris in the future.

Your attendance at this conference allows you to take advantage of high public and media interest, hear about new and exciting research and activities, and benefit from the ongoing passion and dedication of those directly involved in the field. The conference was designed with a variety of tracks, themes, and session types—incorporating science, art, policy, and film—with all paths leading to the shared goal of moving forward, globally and locally, in combating the economic and environmental impacts of marine debris.

We look forward to making this conference a complete success and moving into the future with you.

WhatistheHonoluluStrategy?The Honolulu Strategy sets forth a results-oriented framework of action with the overarching goal to reduce impacts of marine debris over the next 10 years. This goal will be achieved through the collective action of committed stakeholders at global, regional, country, local, and individual levels. The Honolulu Strategy is being developed through an iterative process working with debris managers and practitioners around the globe.

HowcanIbecomeinvolvedwithdevelopingtheHonoluluStrategy?The Honolulu Strategy will not be complete without the input and insights of participants attending the 5IMDC. A number of opportunities are being provided during the conference to build support and provide comments on the Honolulu

Strategy: (1) a results chain workshop will be held the 1st day of the conference to enable participants to peer-review the draft results chains that served as the underpinning logical framework for the Honolulu Strategy, (2) presenters are being asked to include a final slide highlighting the recommended priority actions to include in the Honolulu Strategy, (3) participants are encouraged to submit priority actions on a Strategy Comment Form, and (4) teams of rapporteurs will be attending sessions and noting gaps and new ideas to inform and improve the Honolulu Strategy.

A draft Honolulu Strategy has been provided in your packet. Please review the Strategy as you listen to presentations and provide your inputs on the Strategy Comment Form provided in each session room. We cannot guarantee that all comments and inputs will be addressed or included verbatim; however, we will review all ideas and do our best to capture the inputs received. After the conference, the Honolulu Strategy working group will review inputs and finalize the Honolulu Strategy for widespread dissemination.

Artists:• Pam Longobardi, USA• Susan Middleton, USA • David Liittschwager, USA• Andrew Hughes, UK • Dianna Cohen, USA • Andrew McNaughton, Kenya • Michelle Lougee, USA

The art selected for this exhibit was produced by professional artists who have devoted much of their study to both understanding and interpreting the social causes and ecological challenges of marine pollution. The collaborating artists are internationally recognized for their ability to utilize art to visually interpret the human impacts of consumption and how that impact extends to marine ecosystems. The pieces of art in this exhibit reflect that aptitude. It is hoped that this exhibit will inspire thought about the role art can play in interpreting conservation issues to the public, and how art may also inspire creative solutions from viewers.

Video/ArtProjectorOne projector in the exhibit hall will be dedicated to displaying visual media on marine debris. Each morning, a rotating selection of digital images of marine debris will be shown. These images are provided by people throughout the marine debris community, ranging from artists to removal experts. In the afternoons, the projector will display a loop of marine debris videos from groups and individuals around the world. Note: These videos are different from those that will be shown at the 5IMDC Movie Night event.

All Exhibits must be taken down on Friday, 2:30pm – 6pm.

Ever wonder how cool it would be to see a map of all the projects from around the world that are helping to tackle marine debris? We did, too! VisittheExhibitHallbetweensessionstoaddyourproject(s)toaglobalmap.The idea is to showcase how marine debris is a global problem that is being addressed all over the world.

We ask that you give a few details about the type of project (research, cleanup, or outreach), your name and email, and the GPS coordinates (approximate is all right). There is a computer dedicated to collecting this information. A map of all entered locations will be projected on one wall.

It takes only a few minutes to get your project on the map...Literally!

Marine Debris Awareness Week Proclamation In recognition of the global problem of marine debris as well as the 5th International Marine Debris Conference, Governor Neil Abercrombie and Lt. Governor Brian Schatz of the State of Hawai‘i have proclaimed the week of March 20-26, 2011 as “Marine Debris Awareness Week.”

The Proclamation will be on display at the NOAAMarine Debris Division’s booth in the Exhibit Hall.

AddressingthecausesofDFGintheAsianPacificRegion8:00am–5:00pmSalon1This workshop will explore the underlying causes and contributors to derelict fishing gear in the Asian Pacific region, with an ultimate goal to develop the foundation for an action plan that can be implemented by local fisheries and other management authorities. Invited experts will discuss the potential causes of gear loss/abandonment in the region and develop an action plan that addresses these causes, cognizant of the special needs of the region’s developing nations and SIDS. Discussions will include impacts of DFG on local marine ecosystems, underlying socioeconomic reasons for loss and abandonment of gear, local resources to address DFG potential management options to reduce DFG, and outreach/education tools. The goal of workshop conveners is to establish and maintain a network of interested participants that will work to implement the Action Plan to reduce DFG within the region.

Instructor/Organizer: Elizabethann English, NOAA Fisheries Office of International Affairs

Resultschains:Atoolforcreatingeffectivemarinedebrisstrategies8:00am–5:00pmSalon2Results chains offer managers and conservation professionals a logical and useful way to clarify why certain actions are chosen to address threats facing the natural environment, what results are predicted to occur following such action, and how such results will be measured through time. Participants in this workshop will learn how to design a results chain so that it tests assumptions held regarding how strategies lead to reduced marine debris impacts and how to identify a set of measures to track progress and gauge strategy effectiveness. The morning will feature presentations, hands-on development and review of results chains, and case study review of how results chains are being used in the real world as a planning tool to address marine debris. In the afternoon, participants will conduct an interactive peer review of the results chains used as the framework for the development of the draft Honolulu Strategy: A global strategy for the prevention, reduction, and management of marine debris.

Instructor/Organizer: John Parks, Marine Management Solutions LLC Co-Instructor/Organizer: Kitty Courtney, Tetra Tech, Inc.

Hydrodynamicsofmarinedebris8:00am–5:00pmSalon3This workshop addresses the motion of marine debris in water, with the goal to formulate the steps necessary to quantify the major sources and sinks of marine debris, as well as the pathways between them, to ultimately determine the basin-scale and global inventory of marine debris by closing the associated mass budgets. The workshop will bring together modelers and observational scientists to integrate the two approaches of study of marine debris hydrodynamics.

Methodsformeasuringtheimpactsofderelictfishinggearanditsremoval8:00am–12:00pmSalonCWhile it is generally accepted that derelict fishing gear is an entanglement or entrapment risk to marine wildlife, that it has the potential to alter marine habitats, and that its removal from the marine environment is therefore of benefit to ocean resources and habitats, science-based methods for measuring its impacts and the biological benefits of removal vary among programs and/or are underutilized. The goal of this proposed workshop is to provide a forum for comparing and contrasting currently utilized and past methodologies for measuring derelict fishing gear impacts and ecological benefits of removal across programs. The outcome of this workshop will be a Recommended Methods white paper that is prescriptive, yet general and cross-cutting enough to be useful for any derelict fishing gear removal program operating anywhere in the world.

WashedAshore:Plastics,sealife,andenvironmentalart1:00pm–5:00pmSalonC Learn about the process of making large-scale educational art out of marine debris! Environmental artist and educator Angela Haseltine Pozzi will take participants through the story of one community’s direct engagement with marine debris. This workshop will be a combination of oral presentation and hands-on participation. A presentation will be made about the community project, the consequences to the community and beyond, and the vision of using art as a medium to engage in the ever-growing conversation about marine debris. The hands-on component of the workshop will include fabricating fish scales or bird feathers out of marine debris. Participants will get to drill, stitch, and assemble elements of one of the large-scale sculptures! No prior artistic experience is needed; Ms. Pozzi provides all instruction and supplies.

Instructor/Organizer: Angela Haseltine Pozzi, Washed Ashore project Co-Instructor/Organizer: Kyle Brown, Artula Institute, Washed Ashore project

Theimportanceofadequateportreceptionfacilities(forship-generatedwastes)inreducingmarinedebris1:00pm–5:00pmKaimukiBallroomMARPOL regulations require all IMO Member States to provide port waste reception facilities (PRFs) at their ports for ship-generated wastes, including Annex V wastes, which may be discharged under certain conditions and may contribute to MD. This workshop will introduce participants to the Global Integrated Shipping Information System, and provide an overview of the tools available for reporting inadequacies and of the work of UNEP, IMO, and the International Organization

41

for Standardization (ISO) in developing standards for garbage management aboard ship and at PRFs. Participants will also engage in a roundtable discussion on Best Management Practices for ships and operators of PRFs aimed at Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling ships’ wastes with the goal of moving toward zero discharge of wastes from ships and eliminating marine debris.

Learningshorelineassessmentprotocolsformarinedebris8:00am–12:00pmSalon3A wide number of marine debris shoreline assessments exist around the world, but information gathered is seldom comparable due to differing objectives and methodologies. The NOAA Marine Debris Division has reviewed several of these methodologies on marine litter and is working to develop a statistically robust and holistic analysis which addresses all types and locations of debris in an area and which can be standardized to use across the globe. Once established, these shoreline methodologies will be paired with surface water trawls, pelagic sampling, underwater/benthic assessments, and sediment analyses to determine the overall density of marine debris in a given region or area. This four-hour combined workshop and field trip gives participants an opportunity to learn and conduct one of these shoreline density assessments and see Hawaii’s debris firsthand. Participants will be able to provide comments on the developed methodology and discuss how it can be implemented in their own country or region.

Instructor/Organizer: Sarah Opfer, NOAA Marine Debris Division/I.M. Systems Group, Inc. Co-Instructor/Organizer: Courtney Arthur, NOAA Marine Debris Division/I.M. Systems Group, Inc.

KeeptheSeaFreeofDebris:Developingeffectiveoutreachforland-basedmarinedebris1:30pm–5:30pmSalon1 Marine debris is a complex, multi-faceted issue. While all aspects are important, when it comes to the global community, land-based litter is one of the more prominent and prevalent topics. Much of current media coverage, however, has been misleading, exaggerated, or based on hearsay. Ensuring that public opinion is based upon accurate, science-based information is increasingly important because resulting attitudes can determine what issues are significant and thus must be addressed. The workshop will focus on informal outreach to general audiences (i.e., the general public) and, if time allows, one or two specific audiences. Examples of broad-reach outreach tools, such as web-based marine debris visualizations and interactive elements, will be presented and demonstrated. Participant feedback and impressions among the group will be encouraged. Additionally, participants will help to formulate several internationally relevant key messages on land-based marine debris and prevention in order to help standardize and unify messaging on marine debris worldwide.

Marinedebriseducation:Classroomandoutreachlessonstoteachstudentsaboutmarinedebris1:30pm-5:30pmSalon2Marine debris is an environmental problem of global importance, enlisting the concern and action of scientists and policy makers, as well as the general public around the world. This workshop will introduce a three-lesson kit created by the Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE) to help educators teach about marine debris. The main themes of the kit are the biological impacts of marine debris, geographical distribution of marine debris, and ways society creates marine debris. Participants will go through the kit, critically examine data, and take part in activities that explore the causes, geographical distribution, and biological impacts of marine debris as students using the kit would. Participants in the workshop will learn ways to teach about marine debris as well as discuss ways to create their own marine debris kit from the online resources.

Fineart,ecotourism,andscienceeducation–Partneringtoincreasemarinedebrisawarenesswithincommunities1:30pm–3:30pmSalon3 Art, technology, and ecotourism can provide real-time (firsthand) experiences allowing those involved a personalized view of the ecological consequences of marine pollution, its potential impacts on them, and their role in the problem. This personalized and informed experience, when reinforced by modern technologies, can dramatically inspire and alter behaviors in communities that experience it. This workshop will feature presentations followed by discussion around key questions. The panel will consist of four members: two professional artists, a biologist, and a professional marine educator. Workshop participants will have one hour of the session to ask questions of the panel participants about how to successfully draw together multiple organizations, agencies, and established artists to successfully achieve education and outreach goals related to marine debris and ocean conservation awareness.

AnewtwisttotheMonofilamentRecovery&RecyclingProgram:Personal-sizedbins 3:30pm–5:30pmSalon3The Monofilament Recovery & Recycling Program (MRRP) is a Florida statewide effort to educate the public on the problems caused by discarded fishing line. The purpose of this workshop is to review the Florida program, discuss a pilot program to expand the MRRP to other regions in the U.S., and discuss similar efforts worldwide. It will be followed by an interactive discussion where participants will be encouraged to provide suggestions and recommendations on implementation of monofilament collection in a variety of locations and cultures. Finally, there will be a hands-on demonstration on construction of the mini-bins; participants will get to make their own personal-sized recycling bins and will be provided with take-away resources to help them expand the program in their community.
