|
|
origins of litter is extremely difficult and research is underway by various
|
|
organisations to tackle the issue of dumping at sea. </p><p>It is illegal to dispose
|
|
of garbage, plastic, waste oil, sewage or any toxic substance at sea.</p><p>The following
|
|
guidelines can help avoid many problems:</p><h2>Don't...</h2><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">Dump garbage
|
|
or plastics at sea</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Dump damaged fishing
|
|
gear at sea</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Dump oil at sea</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Dump sewage at sea</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Dump toxic substances
|
|
at sea</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Use detergents or hoses
|
|
to deal with spill</li>
|
|
</ul><h2>Do...</h2><p>
|
|
<strong>Garbage
|
|
and Plastics</strong>
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">Remove
|
|
excess packaging before leaving home</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Arrange sufficient
|
|
and secure storage on board for wastes</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Rinse tins and plastic
|
|
containers to avoid them becoming smelly</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Separate wastes for
|
|
recycling ashore</li>
|
|
</ul><p>
|
|
<strong>Sewage</strong>
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">>Fit a sewage
|
|
holding tank in your boat</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Use shore side facilities
|
|
whenever possible</li>
|
|
</ul><p>
|
|
<strong>Antifouling</strong>
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">When cleaning
|
|
down hulls, use a scrub-off facility that collects run-off residues thus
|
|
presenting toxic dust or scrapings entering the sea</li>
|
|
</ul><p>
|
|
<strong>Oils
|
|
and Oily Wastes</strong>
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
<li title="*">Use absorbent
|
|
pads to soak up oil in bilges and place a drip tray under the engine</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Take waste oil ashore
|
|
in secure containers for safe disposal into shore side facilities</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Avoid spillage into
|
|
the sea when refuelling, do not overfill your tank</li>
|
|
<li title="*">When servicing the
|
|
engine, ensure that used oil is collected and taken to an oil recycling
|
|
bank</li>
|
|
<li title="*">Remember used oil is
|
|
very difficult to recycle when mixed with other materials, such as paints
|
|
and solvents</li>
|
|
</ul><p>The benefits of appropriate
|
|
facilities on land far outweigh the negative impact to marine life, the environment
|
|
and human health from dumping at sea - together with incurred costs from damage
|
|
to boats and equipment from marine debris.</p><p>The MARPOL Convention is the main international convention covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment by ships from operational or accidental causes. It is a combination of two treaties adopted in 1973 and 1978 respectively and updated by amendments through the years. Further information can be obtained from the
