Flashcards
0/20
Nitrogen and Phosphorus
Implement better agricultural practices, reduce the use of fertilizers, and upgrade wastewater treatment plants.
Marine Litter
Enforce anti-dumping laws, support beach clean-ups, and engage in international cooperation.
Plastic Debris
Promote the use of biodegradable materials, enforce strict littering laws, and enhance public awareness on recycling.
Dredging Activities
Use silt curtains to contain sediments, schedule dredging at environmentally appropriate times, and reuse dredged material responsibly.
Desalination Plants
Improve brine disposal methods, invest in energy-efficient desalination technologies, and conduct regular environmental monitoring.
Radioactive Substances
Tighten nuclear safety protocols, properly dispose of radioactive waste, and international regulation on radioactive materials.
Microplastics
Ban microbeads in consumer products, filter water treatment discharges, and promote research on microplastic pollution.
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)
Ban or restrict use of certain chemicals, promote alternatives, and clean up existing contaminations.
Invasive Species
Implement ballast water management, conduct hull cleanings, and educate on the risks of exotic species.
Chemical Dumping
Strengthen international conventions, strict monitoring and penalties for illegal dumping, and promote safe chemical handling.
Thermal Pollution
Improve cooling systems of industrial plants, use alternative energy sources, and strict regulation on thermal discharges.
Antifouling Chemicals
Adopt non-toxic antifouling technologies, regulate the use of harmful chemicals, and apply best practices in ship maintenance.
Ocean Acidification
Reduce carbon emissions, protect marine carbonate systems, and boost research on adaptation strategies.
Marine Construction
Plan construction to minimize habitat disturbance, use best management practices, and restore affected areas post-construction.
Sound Pollution
Regulate noise from ships and underwater construction, designate marine quiet zones, and monitor the impact on marine life.
Oil Spills
Implement double-hulled tankers, follow proper vessel maintenance, and conduct regular inspections.
Sewage Disposal
Construct advanced sewage treatment facilities, regulate discharge standards, and promote water-saving appliances.
Underwater Mining
Enforce environmental impact assessments, regulate mining activities, and implement sustainable mining practices.
Sunscreen and Personal Care Products
Promote the use of reef-safe sunscreens, regulate harmful chemicals, and educate beachgoers on product impact.
Heavy Metals
Reduce industrial effluents, implement phytoremediation, and strict monitoring of waste disposal.
