{"title":"Marine Environment Protection","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince an estimated 70% of the earth's surface consists of water, and over 95% of that water is in the oceans, some people might find it strange that trash and other pollutants in such a massive amount of water could pose much of a threat. Marine pollution is not a new issue. For many years, countries have deposited industrial and agricultural wastes, garbage, medical waste, plastics, radioactive material, and other harmful substances into the world's oceans. The ocean's vastness and depth tend to lull us into thinking that items and substances dumped into it are minuscule by comparison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividuals may think that ships and boats are the primary causes of marine pollution; however, plastics and garbage make up a significant amount of marine pollution. Some experts suggest that one day the amount of plastic in the ocean could outweigh the fish. Garbage that has sunk to the ocean floor cannot be removed and will remain a perpetual threat to the underwater ecosystem that supports marine life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Environmental Protection Agency and the Marine Environment Protection Committee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo protect the marine environment, mariners, ship navigators, captains, administrators and government agencies must adhere to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.imo.org\/en\/MediaCentre\/MeetingSummaries\/Pages\/MEPC-default.aspx\"\u003eMarine Environment Protection Committee\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eregulations.

Congress enacted the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act. This act prohibits U.S. entities from dumping anything in the ocean that can endanger human health and marine life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to its regulatory role related to marine pollution, the EPA is part of the Marine Environment Protection Committee, an International Maritime Organization (IMO) under the United Nations. Members of the IMO work together to prevent marine pollution and promote maritime safety and security. The committee has developed global standards for controlling pollution from ships, including air pollution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHistory of the IMO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe groundwork for the IMO was accomplished in 1948 to establish international regulations for shipping safety and related concerns. The original name for the organization was the Inter-Governmental Maritime Consultative Organization. The organization met for the first time in 1959. Early work focused on facilitating international maritime traffic, load line safety, and transporting dangerous cargo. The group also revised the system for measuring ships' tonnage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFocus on Pollution Prevention\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the early years, safety was a primary focus of the committee. However, the increase in oil transported by sea and the 1967 Torrey Canyon oil spill off the United Kingdom coast resulted in the Committee developing measures to reduce oil tanker accidents and the subsequent environmental impacts. The vessel spilled an estimated 25-36 million gallons of oil that contaminated the waters and beaches of the English Channel, killing birds, fish and other marine life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSearch and Rescue\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1970s, the IMO implemented a global search and rescue system with the International Mobile Satellite Organization to improve radio transmission and other messaging to ships. In 1988, the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) was initiated and it became fully functioning in early 1999. By transmitting distress signals automatically, the system allows any ship in distress to get assistance, even if there is no time for the crew to radio for help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMarpol Conventions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1973, the IMO began developing the Marpol Conventions, regulations sea vessels must follow for preventing different types of pollution.
