Ocean dumping -- A rational approach to an international problem

This paper provides a detailed look at the overall problem of ocean dumping and presents discussion on U. S. regulations, international efforts, and an approach to the problem of ocean dumping. A systematic approach, starting with identification of types of wastes, determination of environmental effects, and providing specifications for disposal is reviewed. Enactment of legislation, identification of regulatory authority, and the establishment of a workable enforcement system are also discussed.
