KIMO, originally founded as Komunernes International Miljøorganisation, is a network of local governments dedicated to protecting, preserving, and enhancing the marine environment in the North-East Atlantic and Baltic regions. Established in Esbjerg, Denmark, in 1990, KIMO unites its members to combat pollution and promote sustainable practices through representation at international decision-making processes, local impact projects, knowledge exchange, and updates on relevant laws and regulations. Key initiatives include the Fishing for Litter program, addressing marine debris, and projects focusing on reducing microplastic pollution from various sources. KIMO's mission is driven by the vision of healthy seas, clean beaches, and thriving coastal communities.
