Control of land-based marine pollution in Southeast Asia : a legal perspective
Marine pollution from land-based sources is a new and challenging topic in international law development. Since the subject matter of land-based marine pollution is very complex in social-economic and scientific terms, the implementation of the newly developed rules of international law on …

A comparison of the bacteria at Bakoven Bay and Hottentotshuisie as indicators of marine pollution from a sewage outfall
… at two geographically similar near-shore marine sites. The difference between the sites is that one is influenced by a raw sewage outfall. Sea water samples were drawn directly by means of a handheld all-glass bacteriological sampling device. Sea-water samples were analysed for a total …

The use of port state measures as a tool of combating illegal unreported unregulated fishing: Is there a need for expansion of coastal state jurisdiction?
… unreported unregulated fishing with the issue of marine pollution. The significance of this comparison is to show how provisions in regard to marine pollution, have legitimized the expansion of port state jurisdiction to the extent that port states have enforcement jurisdiction over foreign …

Governments' Rights and Duties in Preventing and Compensating Marine Pollution (Mostly Resulting from Oil Transport in the Light of International Conventions) [Diritti e doveri dei governi nella prevenzione e nel risarcimento dell'inquinamento marino (principalmente derivante dal trasporto di petrolio alla luce delle convenzioni internazionali)]
Questa tesi, impiegando un metodo di ricerca descrittivo-analitico, esamina in modo approfondito i diritti e gli obblighi degli Stati nella prevenzione e nel risarcimento dell’inquinamento marino causato dal trasporto di petrolio, con particolare attenzione al quadro fornito dalle convenzioni …

The merits of the regional seas: programme for Southern Africa
Regional Programmes for the Protection of the Marine Environment began with agencies and organisations that were mainly scientific in nature. These early organisations were research - oriented and although they could recommend action they had no regulatory powers, nor could they initiate any …

Seafloor Sediment Bacterial Community Profiling for Baselines and Environmental Effects Monitoring at a Deep-Sea Oil Production Site Offshore Nova Scotia, Canada
Monitoring effects of environmental pollution is a critical aspect to preserving ecosystem health, but is challenging if baseline conditions are never established. Microorganisms are the first responders in a marine pollution event, hence oil-degrading bacteria can be used to monitor dispersion and …

The unfinished miracle : how plastics came to be lost at sea
… trash is an increasingly significant source of pollution in the world's oceans. In some remote ocean regions, it is aggregating by the ton. This thesis investigates plastic trash as an emerging marine contaminant, with a specific focus on: the history of plastic trash in the ocean; areas of …

The application of active and passive bioaccumulation methods to measure metallic and organic pollutants along the Namibian coastline
… input of elements and organic pollutants into marine environments. There is currently no ongoing marine pollution monitoring program in Namibia and there are limited studies on marine pollution along the Namibian coastline. Since the 1970s, mussels have been used as bioindicators because they …

Environmental risk management of contamination of marine biota by hydrocarbons specifically those arising following an oil spill.
Marine pollution resulting from oil spillage has received much attention mostly due to the damaging effects it has on fisheries and aquacultures. One component of oil that is widely studied due to its toxic and carcinogenic properties is the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The physical and …
