Ocean Legacy Foundation (OLF), an organization accredited by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and a specialist in marine plastic recovery and recycling, has launched its Marine Plastic Management Program (MPMP) to support British Columbia’s fishing and aquaculture industry in responsibly managing fishing gear disposal while driving Canada’s circular economy.

By participating in this program, businesses join a growing network aimed at reducing plastic leakage into ecosystems and improving material traceability. The program supports plastic-carbon footprint reporting and aligns with extended producer responsibility principles, helping businesses prepare for regulatory shifts while promoting long-term environmental and operational resilience.
