A key highlight was the Regional Symposium on Marine Debris and Microplastics in Southeast Asia, which showcased significant achievements and findings from project implementation, particularly on abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), as well as broader research on marine debris and microplastics.
