Discussion 3 - What Are You Drinking, Mate? Introduction

You open the top-left desk drawer and pull out your personal log book. Continuing your duties on the ship, you prepare another record of your tasks. Take a moment to reflect on some of the tasks you completed this leg of the trip. You casually stroll to the stern of the ship, climb into one of the available hammocks, and watch the waves... and trash, pass by.

Tasks Wait... Trash?

Read the article Marine Debris. The article seems to paint a grim picture. At the end of the article, there were 5 points that make cleanup challenging.

1. Select one of those points and describe a solution to overcome it.

There is an international agreement called MARPOL that was passed as a result of international concern about marine debris.

2. In your own words, write a couple sentences explaining Annex 5 of MARPOL. Use and cite at least 2 other resources other than imo.org.

3. What other types of laws could help reduce or prevent marine debris? How would you enforce them?
