Ship pollution
Ships can pollute the waterways and oceans in many ways. There are spills from oil tankers, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide gases from exhaust fumes. Ships create noise pollution that disturbs natural wildlife, and water from ballast tanks can spread harmful algae.
The Ship Pollution protocol is an agreement to help minimise pollution by ships.
