  5. A Sustainable Ocean Economy – Blue Paper – Leveraging Multi-Target Strategies to Address Plastic Pollution in the Context of an Already Stressed Ocean
The High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (HLP) is a unique initiative of 14 serving heads of government committed to catalysing bold, pragmatic solutions for ocean health and wealth that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The ocean is the ultimate sink for land-based pollution-the most recent and most visible being solid plastic waste. To solve the pollution challenge we need to start with the premise that there is no such thing as waste. The Earth is a closed system and there is nowhere for damaging pollution to go that won’t harm ecosystems, plant and animal life.
