The structure of your final paper must include at a minimum the following:

Title Page(see APA):
o The recommended length for a title is no more than 12 words.
o The APA manual has an example of a title page
Abstract(approximately one-half page) (see APA):
o Provide a brief overview of the topic and introduce why it is a challenging and important project management issue.
o Briefly discuss the content of your paper and general conclusions you made from the results of the review.
Introduction(approximately 2 pages):
o Provide background information and details concerning this topic that convey the importance and challenges of the issue.
o Explain your reasoning for the methods (databases, search engines, etc.) you used to obtain literature.
o Explain your reasoning for the methods (statistical, graphical, qualitative, etc.) you used to analyze the results of the review.
Literature Review(approximately 6 to 10 pages):
o Provide a detailed review of literature concerning the topic.
o When discussing the literature, try to group similar concepts together and then compare and contrast them with papers approaching the issue differently (e.g. financial versus human resources).
o Include a variety of perspectives and viewpoints that thoroughly cover all aspects of the topic.
Analysis (approximately 2-3 pages):
o Evaluate how much is currently known about the topic based on your literature review.
o Discuss the quality of the literature found.
o Present and explain the findings.
o Evaluate the need and significance of new research.
Conclusions(approximately 1-2 pages):
o Provide insight and recommendations concerning the topic based on your literature review and analysis
o Here often authors will identify areas for future research based on information discovered during development of the paper.
References (at least 10):
o List all references using the parenthetical citing method.
o Every reference within the body of the paper must have a corresponding entry in the reference list at the end of the paper and vice-a-versa.

Below are research questions; all sections above, starting from introduction to conclusion, must address the following research questions.

1. Why should we care about the ocean?
• What are the opportunities that can be generated from our ocean?
• What are the best recommendations for private and public sectors in protecting the ocean?
• Do we need a sustainable framework to solve ocean plastic pollution in our lifetime?

2. Where do ocean plastics come from?
• How much is plastic pollution in the ocean?
• Is it true that plastic pollution significantly impacts marine species and human life?
• What are the negative consequences when plastic pollution continues increasing in our ocean?

3. Do we need specific project management techniques and strategies for managing plastic pollution?
• What are project management's role and method in using the new frontier technologies and innovation to address plastic pollution?
• How can we keep plastic out of the marine environment by using project management approaches?
• What is new initiative and innovation to stop plastic pollution in our ocean?

Include at least 10 references for this paper and use parenthetical citing for all references. The paper must be double spaced and 12 - 15 pages in length (excluding, abstract, the title page, tables, figures, equations, and references) and cover the topic thoroughly. Don't justify the margins. The 12-point Times New Roman font must be used, and all margins must be between 1.000 and 1.125 inches. Please using APA academic writing style.
