DIMENSIONS OF THE CHALLENGE AND U.S. PROGRESS 29 should not be disruptive, competitively harmful, or so expensive as to drain the resources of government or private organizations. While addressing domestic needs and opportunities, U.S. policy also needs to recognize the international aspects of the problem of vessel garbage, which is generated by all maritime nations and taints the environment worldwide. U.S. officials must have a full understanding of both the opportunities and constraints afforded by international law, which provides the context for Annex V implementation. The United States also carries the responsibility of a world leader to provide a model for compliance and promote multilateral cooperation to advance Annex V implementation worldwide. The following chapter further defines the challenges in the Annex V implementation by examining what is known about the sources, fates, and effects of vessel garbage.

Marine debris is a serious environmental problem. To do its part, the United States has agreed to abide by the international treaty for garbage control at sea, known as MARPOL 73/78 Annex V.

Clean Ships, Clean Ports, Clean Oceans explores the challenge of translating Annex V into workable laws and regulations for all kinds of ships and boats, from cruise ships to fishing crafts and recreational boats. The volume examines how existing resources can be leveraged into a comprehensive strategy for compliance, including integrated waste management systems and effective enforcement.

Clean Ships, Clean Ports, Clean Oceans describes both progress toward and obstacles to Annex V compliance. The book covers:

  • How shipborne garbage orignates and what happens to garbage discharged into the seas.
  • Effects of discharge on human health, wildlife safety, and aesthetics.
  • Differences in perspective among military, industrial, and recreational seafarers and shoreside facilities.

Clean Ships, Clean Ports, Clean Oceans will be important to marine policymakers, port administrators, ship operations officers, maritime engineers, and marine ecologists.
