Abstract

The present Regulation establishes a subsidy scheme to contribute to the implementation of measures to reduce marine litter in Norway, including clean-up and preventive measures. The main objective of the scheme is to clean-up the shoreline. Subsidies can also be granted for similar measures along or near rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water. The sea/ocean floor up to the shore or to a depth of 5 meters is also considered part of the shoreline. The Regulation was adopted by the Ministry of Climate and Environment on December based on the Norwegian Parliament's annual budget.
