I. Background

In advance of the fourth Intergovernmental Review of the Global Programme of Action for the protection of the

marine environment from land-based activities, the Global Programme of Action Coordination Office requested of

countries to complete a survey designed to assess progress in the implementation of National Plans of Action

(NPAs) to address marine pollution, and provide insights on country experiences in the development and

implementation national actions. The survey was initiated in mid-2016 along with the notification to countries of

the convening of the fourth Intergovernmental Review.

The survey was executed through an online Google document form1 that allowed respondents to key in data

directly to the form, which was automatically compiled by the form’s algorithm to generate summary graphs and

other basic statistics. Some countries opted to complete the survey offline and submitted as a scanned document

to the Coordination Office, where staff then entered the data into the online Google form for compilation.

The survey questions were grouped in the following sections:

A: Respondent information: Relevant contact information including the focal point assigned by the

country to the Programme

B: NPA development status and related frameworks: Information on national progress in the

development and implementation of actions to address land-based pollution, either through national plans of

action or similar initiatives, with the focus on national efforts in various pollution source categories.

C: National and regional-level policy and institutional arrangements for LBS pollution management: Information on challenges in implementation of national actions, the number and diversity of agencies

engaged in addressing land-based pollution. This also included legislative and regulatory frameworks

pertaining to pollution, and engagement of the country in regional and international frameworks that address

pollution.

D: Assessment of the status of LBS of marine pollution: Information on national efforts in monitoring the

state of the coastal and marine environment in the context of targeted interventions, frequency of monitoring,

data archival and sharing.

E: Financing for implementation of National Programmes of Action for LBS of marine pollution: Information on estimated national investment in programmes to address land-based pollution, the types of

financing instruments applied and donor support engagements.

F: Awareness of the GPA Programme and its partnerships: Information on visibility of the Global

Programme of Action at the national level, along with the visibility of the three global partnerships, the

Global Wastewater Initiative, the Global Partnership on Marine Litter and the Global Partnership on Nutrient

Management.

G: New and planned investments in control of LBS of marine pollution: Information on upcoming

investments and the main areas of focus in the context of pollution types.

At the end of the survey respondents were asked to provide any other information in terms of reflections or

suggestions to the GPA Coordination Office.

II. Survey Results

SECTION B: NPA development status and related frameworks B.1 Has your country developed a formal national programme of action (NPA) articulating goals, targets and

strategies for protecting the marine environment from land based activities? [39 responses]

B2. How long ago was the NPA drafted/finalized? [35 responses]

B3. Did your country receive any financial assistance for developing the NPA? [35 responses]

B4. Has the NPA ever been updated since initial drafting? [34 responses]

B5. At what stage is your country in implementing its NPA or equivalent policy? [35 responses]

B6. Are the issues of Land-Based Sources (LBS) of marine pollution mainstreamed in other national planning

frameworks (e.g Integrated Water Resource Management plans, Integrated Coastal Zone Management plans, etc)

[39 responses]

B7. Select from the list below the main LBS of marine pollution areas that have generally received policy attention

over the last five years: [39 responses]

SECTION C: National and regional-level policy and institutional

arrangements for LBS pollution management

C1. What are the main barriers in implementation of LBS of marine pollution control measures? [37 responses]

C1a. If Other, please state: [10 responses]

Country Other barriers

1 Australia Lack of consumer and industry incentives to capture materials for recycling that are

otherwise littered or sent to landfill and leaked into the environment.

Lack of industry incentive to develop new materials that have less impact on the

environment (e.g. truly biodegradable plastics, plastics that have less harmful chemical

substances).

Technology limitations to recycle materials that could be diverted from landfill or are

littered.

Inconsistencies in environmental labelling that causes consumer confusion and prevents

the recapture of materials for recycling

2 Cyprus Lack of human resources

3 Bosnia and

Herzegovina

Governmental institutional structures controlling and monitoring the discharge of key

pollutants from land-based sources of pollution in Bosnia and Herzegovina is significantly

different from national legal frameworks for this sector of the countries in surrounding. The

reason for this is its complex governmental structure, which is primarily the result of the

Constitutional arrangement of Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to which Bosnia and

Herzegovina is divided into two entities: Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FB&H)

and Republic Srpska (RS).

4 Republic of the

Philippines

Weak implementation of policy

5 Ghana Official NPA unavailable

6 Germany The question on ‘barriers’ does not fit for German purposes. The following describes the

national existing legal situation with regard to LBS of marine pollution control measures,

where there might also be constraints in singular cases, also due to high complexity as re

institutional structures and different views as regarding the assessment of the various

polices and regulations at stake via users and protectors, in any case, the various

responsible authorities are willing to act against LBS pollution. In Germany, various EU

water legislative acts with relevance for water protection from land based sources are in

force, among others, the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, 2008/56/EC)

with the objective to reach a good environmental status for the marine waters by 2020. The

other key EU water policy act for a good environmental/ecological/chemical status of

waters is the Water Framework Directive (WFD, 2000/60/EC) with relevant national

instruments relating to nutrients, for example, the Water Act, wastewater regulation,

groundwater regulation, surface water regulation and fertilizer legislation. In Germany, the

16 federal Laender (and partly local authorities in the 5 coastal Laender) are mainly

responsible for the implementation of water protection related legislation (including limits

and control) including by management plans (recently for the second WFD-implementation

35 New Zealand New Zealand’s resource management system is largely governed by the Resource

Management Act 1991.

Much of the authority to control land uses and related pollution is delegated to local

councils. The Resource Management Act directs councils to manage discharges of

contaminants through regional policy statements and plans (see ss 15, 70, RMA). The

Waste Minimisation Act 2008 also contains functions relating to pollutants.

The Resource Management Act allows the Government to produce National Policy

Statements.

A National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management was passed in 2011. The

legislation requires regional councils (the agencies with statutory authority over natural

resource management and planning) to establish discharge limits, including limits on

nutrients and wastewater, and environment flows to safeguard the life-supporting

capacity of ecosystems while having regard to the connections between freshwater

bodies and coastal water. It also requires regional councils to provide for the integrated

management of the effects of the use and development of land and fresh water on coastal

water. The National Policy Statement was amended in 2014 to include minimum

national standards for a range of water quality indicators that must be achieved in every

freshwater body, including nutrient and wastewater contaminants.

The National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management must be fully implemented

by regional councils no later than 31 December 2025 (or 31 December 2030 in certain

circumstances). Regional councils that were not able to implement by the end of 2015

were required to identify a staged implementation programme to meet the 2025 date and

report annually on progress.

A key consideration for New Zealand in terms of policy is how the National Policy

Statement for Freshwater Management (Ministry for the Environment lead) interfaces

with the 2010 New Zealand Coastal Policy Statement (NZCPS, Department of

Conservation lead) which guides local authorities in their day to day management of the

coastal environment

3 Australia The Australian and Queensland governments are significantly investing in the health of


19


the Great Barrier Reef, with investment projected to be more than $2 billion over the

coming decade. The Australian Government has invested $8 million to roll out an

integrated monitoring and reporting programme for the Reef 2050 Plan which will

measure and report on the performance of actions towards achieving the Plan’s targets,

objectives and outcomes.

Monitoring of pollution is also being undertaken through marine debris cleanup groups,

CSIRO, and the Australian Marine Debris Initiative. The Monitoring, Evaluation,

Reporting and Improvement Tool (MERIT) is also relevant. The MERIT collects and

stores planning, monitoring and reporting data associated with natural resource

management grants projects funded by the Australian Government.

Water quality is monitored in the Great Barrier Reef. Monitoring arrangements are

currently under review as Australia is working towards a Reef Integrated Monitoring and

Reporting Program to support adaptive management through the Reef 2050 Plan.

Water quality and sediment chemistry is regularly monitored in Australian ports.

The National Pollutant Inventory provides the community, industry and government

with free information about substance emissions in Australia. It has emission estimates

for 93 toxic substances and the source and location of these emissions. Substance

emissions to water include emissions from facilities as well as diffuse emissions. Diffuse

emissions are estimated within defined water catchments and usually only include total

nitrogen and total phosphorus.

State of the Environment (SoE) reporting is mandated at a national level in Australia

through the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. A report is

required to be produced every five years. There are a number of SoE reporting themes

relevant to issues around land-based activities, namely inland waters, land, coasts and

oceans. Indicators have been used to assess both the condition of aspects of the

environment, including coastal habitat, and the responses of governments to issues of

land-based pollution and changes in habitat extent and condition. Some governments

have undertaken comprehensive surveys of some coastal habitats such as seagrass that

can report changes over time.

Urban stormwater runoff, particularly in the coastal environment, can also be reported to

some extent.

Philippines Water Quality Management Area (WQMA) – The Philippine Clean Water Act 2004

provides for the designation of certain areas as WQMAs using appropriate physiographic

units such as watershed, river basins or water resources regions.

Under the WQMA, the DENR and stakeholders shall address water quality problems,

sources of pollution, and beneficial uses of the receiving water body. They shall also

determine control measures to institute in order to effectively achieve water quality

objectives or improvements. A governing board is created for 9/11/2017 National

each WQMA to serve as a planning, monitoring and coordinating body. A 10-Yer

Action Plan is prepared for each WQMA in order to address water quality issues and

problems in the area and later result to the improvement or better water quality of the

said water body. As of June 2016, there are 31 designated WQMAs nationwide.

Adopt-an-Estero/Water Body Program – Launched in 2010, the Adopt-an-Estero/ Water

Body Program aims to build partnerships among concerned sectors and organizations to

restore the healthy state of waterways in the country, and to safeguard the well-being of

the residents. It is a flagship program of the DENR in response to the continuing

mandamus of the Supreme Court for all concerned government agencies to clean up the

Manila Bay, including all waterways that drain into it. The program was eventually

replicated in other parts of the country.

Land-based Pollution Study – The Land-based Pollution Study was conducted as follow-

up activity in support to the UNEP-GEF South China Sea Project entitled “Reversing

Environmental Degradation Trends in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand”. The

pilot sites for the study are two designated Water Quality Management Areas

(WQMAs), Balili River System and Sinocalan-Dagupan River System. Water quality

monitoring for metals and pesticides were carried out from sampling points established.

Development of Sediment Quality Guidelines - Initiatives towards development of

sediment quality guidelines were undertaken to protect marine and freshwater quality.

An initial activity is the Sedimentation Study in collaboration with the Manila Bay

Office (MBO) and the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI). Sampling sites

were rivers and tributaries that drain into Manila Bay. The sediment samples will be

subjected to lead dating (Pb-210 assay) by the PNRI for sedimentation rate

determination and age dates calculations; and laboratory analyses by the EMB Central

Office Laboratory for the following parameters: dry matter, loss on ignition, chlorophyll,

heavy metals and organic contaminants.

Multi-partite Monitoring Teams for Environmentally Critical Projects – For

Environmentally Critical Projects, a Multipartite Monitoring Team (MMT), a multi-

sectoral team, is organized for the primary purpose of monitoring project compliance

with the conditions stipulated in the Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC), the

Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) and applicable laws, rules and regulations.

3 Australia Australian Packaging Covenant.

The Australian and Queensland governments are significantly investing in the health of

the Great Barrier Reef, with investment projected to be more than $2 billion over the

coming decade. The Australian Government has invested $8 million to roll out an

integrated monitoring and reporting programme for the Reef 2050 Plan which will

measure and report on the performance of actions towards achieving the Plan’s targets,

objectives and outcomes.

Actions relating to marine debris in the Reef 2050 Plan include:

o Implementing on-ground activities to reduce the volume of debris generated in or

entering the World Heritage Area, and undertaking education and awareness

raising activities to minimise the source and occurrence of marine debris.

o Supporting Traditional Owner stewardship activities that contribute to Reef health

and resilience, including removing and, where possible, identifying the sources of

marine debris.

The Australian Government has committed $210 million for the Reef Trust, which will

provide strategic, targeted investment for on-ground action to improve water quality,

and coastal habitat, and will enhance the protection of threatened and migratory marine

species. The Reef Trust will help to deliver the outcomes of the Reef 2050 Plan.

The Australian Government’s Reef 2050 Plan is delivered through partnerships with

other organisations, which is central to protecting and managing the Reef’s values and

the community benefits they support.

For example, The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, in partnerships with the

Australian Marine Debris Initiative, Tangaroa Blue Foundation, Eco Barge Clean Seas

Inc and Reef Guardian Councils, and supported by Reef Trust, delivered the first annual

Great Barrier Reef Clean-up project. Over 900 volunteers removed 10 tonnes of rubbish

from across the Reef catchment, islands, creeks and beaches. Data collected from the

clean-ups is entered into the Australian Marine Debris database to advise future

management and reduction plans with local communities and government.

Further information on the extensive measures in place to protect the Great Barrier Reef

is available at: www.environment.gov.au/topics/marine/great-barrier-reef.

- Green Army Teams and Working on Country Indigenous Rangers will work with

Australia’s communities to improve native vegetation, revitalise our waterways and look

after our cultural assets. For example, a Green Army project on the east coast of

Australia undertook water quality monitoring, erosion control and litter clean-up

activities in the area’s stream network in conjunction with local community environment

groups and local government officers.

construction of WWTP is planned for the municipalities Mostar, Konjic, Prozor,

Čapljina, Livno, Kupres and Tomislavgrad. Also it is planned to increase capacity of the

already existed WWTPs both in Federation B&H and in Republic Srpska. There is also

planned interventions improvement in waste management, special in Mostar city and for

the territory of Trebišnjica river basin.

26 New Zealand The Ministry for the Environment is planning a project to provide guidance to

freshwater managers on the effects of freshwater stressors on estuarine receiving

environments. This is to aid decision making on the setting of freshwater limits under

the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2014. This is important for

an integrated planning approach. It will likely focus on the effects of nutrients,

sediments, and pathogens. At this stage the project is investing $4.5million into filling

some of the science gaps.

The New Zealand Government has made a commitment of $100 million for the

establishment of an investment facility to provide funding for projects designed to

improve water quality and support the implementation of the National Policy Statement

for Freshwater Management.

The New Zealand Government is also planning to establish a national programme of

action to improve farming practices in order to reduce the level of nutrient runoff from

agricultural lands into waterways and estuaries and meet the national bottom lines

imposed by the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.

The Cawthron Institute are currently reviewing all fine scale estuarine monitoring data,

e.g. sediment quality, and undertaking some analysis. After this assessment we aim to

make this coastal data available via the LAWA website.

The ANZECC Guidelines are also being revised. http://www.mfe.govt.nz/fresh-

III Reflections

Any comments or suggestions to the GPA Coordination Office [18 responses]

1 Australia We would like to provide the following supporting information for our responses:

Question B2:

The NPA was adopted in October 2006.

Question B6:

Waste management in Australia is primarily the responsibility of the state and territory

governments, and of local governments who directly manage waste within the regulatory

framework of each state and territory. The Australian Government is responsible for

ensuring that it meets Australia’s obligations to a number of international agreements to

which it is a member. In 2009 Australia’s environment ministers endorsed the National

Waste Policy: Less Waste More Resources (2009), which sets Australia’s waste

management and resource recovery direction to 2020. Through this framework the

Australian Government works with the states and territories to support key national waste

priorities. The policy sets out six key directions and 16 strategies which would benefit from

a national coordinated approach or individual actions at the jurisdiction levels. More

information on the Policy can be found at http://www.nepc.gov.au/node/849/.

The Threat Abatement Plan for the impacts of marine debris on vertebrate marine life aims

to provide a coordinated national approach to the implementation of measures to prevent

and mitigate the impacts of harmful marine debris on vertebrate marine life. The Threat

Abatement Plan was adopted in 2009, and is currently being revised. The Threat Abatement

Plan can be found at https://www.environment.gov.au/marine/publications/threat-

abatement-plan-impacts-marine-debrisvertebrate-marine-life.

Question C3:

There are some areas of environmental sensitivity where coordination is more advanced

(e.g. collaborative efforts to protect the Great Barrier Reef from sedimentation and nutrient

loading, which involves extensive coordination between government agencies).

Question C4:

For protection of the Great Barrier Reef, coordination mechanisms are formal and extensive

including decision-making by a ministerial forum. These arrangements are governed under

Australia’s Reef 2050 Plan. The Meeting of Environment Ministers provides coordination

for some waste issues.

Question D5:

Information relating to beach debris is reported by each clean-up group on their website.

Question E3:

For the Great Barrier Reef, incentives for improved farming practices and land remediation

(including gullies) are primarily provided through payment for environmental services.

Question E4:

Non-government organisations that target beach clean-up activities. Through the Reef 2050

Plan, Australia is encouraging innovative and collaborative investment in on ground actions

to protect the Great Barrier Reef, including public/private partnerships. For example, the

Australian Government is investing in a joint project with Greening Australia to undertake

wetland restoration and repair in priority areas which will contribute to improved water

quality and other environmental benefits.

2 People's Republic

of China

Strengthen publicity and education, strengthen cooperation and communication between

governments

3 Barbados Despite the short coming in the implementation of the GPA programme, a critical factor to

making progress with implementation is twofold: systematic increase in awareness of

community stakeholders and improving the absorptive capacity of governmental and non-

governmental organizations to utilize grant funding. However, these efforts must be based

on sustainability and non-project oriented.

4 Sweden Sweden has not identified a focal point for GPA. It is not clear which Agency is the most

appropriated, the Swedish EPA or SwAM

5 Republic of

Mozambique

Yes: (1) Since the GPA has not the National Focal Point, and the National Programme of

Action (NPA), it is very to use the Nairobi Convention country platforms to facilitate the

beginning process of adoption of the national structure and further National Action Plan;

(2) The next request for this assessment must be fund supported so that internally can be


33

done some stakeholder meeting; (3) We hope that, from now the GPA Secretariat will work

close with the Govern of Mozambique to address problems with the emergence gas and oil

activities and the Land sources and activities from municipalities and Industries in

development

6 Kiribati No major comments at this stage on the survey, however we would like to acknowledge

funding support provided through UNEP in developing our NPA Report in 2009.

7 Spain The GPA as a voluntary Programme has a limited impact in developing National policies,

only indirectly through the regional Conventions (Mainly Barcelona Convention) we take

account the progress made. It would be good to start a process to consider the need for a

legally binding instrument linked to a global Convention such as the London Convention.

8 Denmark The main driver in the Danish protection of the marine environment is the Common EU

Policies. Denmark has/will implement all approved EU-legislation/Environmental policies

9 Togo These projects were developed without the benefit of funding for their implementation.

Only a few studies have been carried out after the validation of the national plan of action

in 2010. Today, these studies need to be updated to take into account the institutional and

technical developments necessary for their implementation

10 Thailand Promote and financial on GPA annual meeting for encouraging GPA stakeholders to update

and share their situation, experience and strategy

11 Ghana Ghana would like to increase her engagement with the GPA programme

12 Israel You are not playing a major role. You must be involved in the 18 RS regularly and

contribute in knowledge, workshops, budgets.

13 Ecuador Que el Presidente del Punto Focal Nacional del Plan de de la CPPS asista y participe en la

Revisión Inter Gubernamental (IGR-4) del Programa de Acción Mundial Acción Mundial

(PAM) para la Protección del Ambiente Marino de las Actividades Realizadas en Tierra.

Que se promueva la participación de Organismos que tengan capacidad de financiar los

programas del PAM.

14 Mexico Es importante resaltar que indirectamente la implementación del Sistema de Unidades de

Manejo para la Conservación de la Vida Silvestre (SUMA) y las Áreas de Refugio para

Especies Acuáticas en Medio Marino, contribuyen en gran medida a prevenir algunos de

los tipos de contaminación del medio marino cuya fuente es una actividad desde tierra,

como es el caso de la contaminación por nitrógeno y fósforo derivado del uso de

fertilizantes en prácticas agrícolas, ya que con la instalación de la UMA, como una

alternativa viable para el cambio de uso de suelo de agrícola a grandes áreas de

conservación de los ecosistemas para el aprovechamiento sustentable de los recursos de

vida silvestre, muchos productores han cambiado sus actividades productivas en el sector

rural.

15 Yemen We need support to implement of detailed survey of nutrients into Red Sea & Gulf of Aden.

See to the proposal project into the report of detailed survey of wastewater into Red Sea &

Gulf of Aden.

16 Jamaica Support continuation of awareness building in countries

17 United States The questions, at times, miss country targets as policies differ at the national level to

international efforts. The farming stakeholder group is not captured in the questions

18 Madagascar We need support to implement our LBS National Action Plan and Institutional Capacity

building.
