Short-term part-time coordination support for IMDOS is provided by GEO Blue Planet through its Marine Litter working group, and the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) with funding from the European Union facilitated through the EU4OceanObs and H2020 EuroSea projects. As part of this effort, IMDOS Strategy and Implementation Plans are being developed under the guidance of an Interim Steering Committee. The IMDOS website and other communication channels have been created to ensure the dissemination of information to stakeholders.
