About this ebook
Ocean Dumping Rules explores the intricate legal framework governing waste disposal at sea, a practice with significant environmental and political ramifications. The book examines how waste is classified under international law, influencing what materials can be disposed of in the ocean and under what conditions. Readers will learn about the evolution of understanding the impact of these practices, from early assumptions that the ocean could absorb unlimited waste, to the current awareness of the harm to marine life and human health.
The book progresses through key areas: waste classification, shipping regulations designed to prevent illegal dumping, and the London Convention, a crucial international treaty. It highlights the challenges of enforcement, evolving waste streams, and political complexities that hinder effective marine environment protection.
By combining legal analysis with scientific and political insights, Ocean Dumping Rules offers a unique perspective on the ongoing debates surrounding ocean waste disposal and the ethical considerations of using the ocean as a waste sink.
