3. Plastic Soup: An Atlas of Ocean Pollution
2019 by Michiel Roscam Abbing
Plastics have revolutionized various aspects of our daily lives, but their desirable characteristics, such as affordability, lightness, and durability, become detrimental when they find their way into the environment. "Plastic Soup: An Atlas of Ocean Pollution" offers a visually stunning exploration of the plastic pollution infesting our oceans, its far-reaching effects on both wildlife and humans across the globe, and the inspirational initiatives striving to combat this crisis. Michiel Roscam Abbing, from the Plastic Soup Foundation, unveils the alarming extent of the problem: plastic waste now infiltrates every corner of our planet. Through captivating photography and compelling graphics, "Plastic Soup" vividly portrays this challenge. However, it also conveys a message of hope, showcasing a diverse range of endeavors dedicated to reducing plastic waste and raising awareness, from plastic-free stores to groundbreaking legislation and captivating art installations. Some projections indicate that if we continue down our current path, the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by 2050. "Plastic Soup" serves as an informative and motivational resource, playing a crucial role in the battle to reverse this alarming trend.

4. Clean Ships, Clean Ports, Clean Oceans: Controlling Garbage and Plastic Wastes at Sea
1995 by Marine Board, Commission on Engineering and Technical Systems, Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences
The issue of marine debris poses a significant environmental challenge, prompting the United States to commit to the international MARPOL 73/78 Annex V treaty for sea garbage control. "Clean Ships, Clean Ports, Clean Oceans" delves into the complexities of translating Annex V into practical laws and regulations that encompass a wide range of vessels, from cruise ships to fishing boats and recreational crafts. This book explores the potential for harnessing existing resources to create a comprehensive compliance strategy, which includes integrated waste management systems and effective enforcement measures. Additionally, it discusses the progress made and obstacles encountered on the path to Annex V compliance, shedding light on the origins of shipborne garbage and its impact, as well as the diverse perspectives of various seafarers and shoreside facilities. "Clean Ships, Clean Ports, Clean Oceans" is an invaluable resource for marine policymakers, port administrators, ship operators, maritime engineers, and marine ecologists alike.
