UK Cleans Up
The UKs Maritime and Coastguard Agency published its 2003 survey of reported discharges attributed to vessels and offshore oil and gas installations operating in the countrys pollution control zone last month. It shows an overall 16.8% reduction in reported discharges of pollutants into the sea. During 2003 there were four successful oil pollution prosecutions with another case waiting to be called.
The agreement considerably strengthens the work being conducted by WWF’s Global Marine Programme on high seas conservation on the ‘open oceans’ outside the exclusive economic zones of national states. It will also reinforce the positive impact of WWF-Norway’s Endangered Seas Programme.
