海南探索海洋塑料垃圾清除机制

Core Viewpoint - The Hainan Provincial Academy of Environmental Sciences has completed the "Methodology for Marine Plastic Waste Removal Projects in Hainan," which establishes a framework for incentivizing the removal and proper disposal of marine plastic waste through the creation of "marine plastic credits" [1][2] Group 1 - The methodology allows for the scientific calculation and verification of the amount of marine plastic waste removed and disposed of, which can generate credits to encourage participation from enterprises, institutions, or individuals in marine plastic governance [1] - The methodology was developed with input from an expert group in marine plastic research, management, and green low-carbon project verification, marking significant progress in Hainan's exploration of marine plastic pollution governance mechanisms [1] - It draws on international standards for plastic waste reduction and certification mechanisms, clearly defining applicable conditions, project boundaries, credit periods, baseline scenario identification, plastic reduction calculation methods, and technical requirements for monitoring and verification [1] Group 2 - The methodology provides guidance for the unified and standardized monitoring, measurement, and certification of plastic reduction in Hainan's marine plastic waste removal projects, enhancing the sustainability of existing initiatives like "fishing vessel retrieval of marine plastic waste" [2] - It contributes to the establishment of a multi-governance system for marine plastic waste, characterized by government leadership and social participation, thereby aiding in the protection of the marine ecological environment and advancing the construction of national ecological civilization pilot zones [2]
