This policy has six focus areas including: Reduction of Land-Based Sources of Litter, Reduction of Sea-Based Sources of Litter, Circular Economy Approach, Research and Development, Maintaining and Strengthening Outreach and Stakeholder Engagement, and International Engagement and Collaboration (Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, 2022). The primary driver for this policy was political, NASML was established in line with target 14.1, which aims to, by 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities (Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, 2022). Concerning the administration of this policy, the Interagency Taskforce on Marine Litter coordinates and implements marine litter policies across the government agencies (the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment chairs the Taskforce, the National Environment Agency (NEA) and the National Parks Board (NParks) provide technical support to the Taskforce). The NASML is a first step to formalise Singapore’s actions to address marine litter (Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, 2022). There was insufficient evidence available to complete the evaluation framework at the time of the assessment, the plan was launched in June 2022.
