Abstract
Description
This document is produced as a part of the project ‘Prevention of Marine Litter in the Lakshadweep Sea
(PROMISE)’. The project activities target tourism clusters located along the Lakshadweep shorelines in
the Maldives, Sri Lanka and India. The project aims at prevention and leakage of wastes from land-based
sources into the Lakshadweep Sea in line with Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) approach.
This input paper outlines the preliminary findings about the current waste management related policy
ecosystem specifically addressing marine litter in the Maldives and provides initial recommendations
based on desk research. Following engagements with stakeholders such as local authorities managing
waste, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the tourism sector, business associations,
policy makers etc., this document will be updated incorporating the learnings from these engagements.
