Marine Pollution Controls

It dives into international maritime law, examining conventions like MARPOL and UNCLOS, while also scrutinizing national enforcement frameworks. The book progresses by first tracing the history of international maritime law, then centers on vessel-source pollution, responses to accidental pollution such as oil spills, and the regulation of dumping at sea.

A key insight is the disparity between the legal ideals of international conventions and the practical challenges of enforcement, particularly on the high seas.

Ultimately, this comprehensive analysis offers valuable insights for policymakers, legal scholars, and environmental advocates interested in strengthening marine environmental policy and law.
