EU ambassador to Fiji and the Pacific Andrew Jacobs said it was important to deal effectively with litter in Fiji and around the Pacific.
Jacobs said the ocean would offer great potential for the years and decades to come.
“The oceans offer a potential to solve the increasingly urgent challenge of food security. With the world's population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, the demand for food could rise by 60 per cent," he said.
