An activity on ICARM has been recently launched by NOWPAP at a workshop in Toyama, Japan. Working with other NOWPAP Regional Activity Centres (RACs), the NOWPAP Pollution Monitoring RAC (POMRAC) is leading this activity and will invite PEMSEA to share their rich experiences in this field.
Implementation of NOWPAP contributes to the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities (GPA) in the Northwest Pacific region.
