Marine litter is a serious environmental, social, and economic threat to the blue economy of the Wider Caribbean Region. Due to the transboundary nature of marine litter, data-driven reduction measures are needed on a local, national, regional, and global level. To improve the knowledge base to inform the development of policies and measures in the Wider Caribbean Region, there is a need for a structured and regionally harmonized marine litter monitoring framework, aligned with global protocols.  The purpose of this report is to define an effective strategy and create a roadmap for a cost-effective and easily replicable means to collect high quality, harmonized marine litter data that can be used for driving and verifying effectiveness of reduction policies, awareness raising while ensuring that the data collected regionally is aligned with global marine litter data consolidation and analysis. This action plan builds on the 2019 recommendations for a hybrid approach on beach litter mon
