Solid Waste Pollution on Texas Beaches: A Post MARPOL Annex V Study. Volume 1. Narrative
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) adopted Annex V, prohibiting the discharge of plastics into the ocean, on December 31, 1988. To see if compliance with MARPOL Annex V reduced the quantity of marine debris on a Gulf of Mexico bech, surveys were conducted from January 1991 to June 1992. These data were then compared with the results of surveys done in 1987 and 1988. Two main methods were employed: counting large items in situ, and collecting small and certain targeted items for later classification and analysis. Counts were done at 2-day, weekly, and monthly periods, and collections made weekly and monthly. Results show reductions in the quantity of marine debris in the post-MARPOL period. Several items identifiable with the offshore oil, commercial fishing, and merchant marine industries were reduced in quantity. A brief review of beach-debris methods other than the author's is included in the discussion.
