The market leading textbook in marine pollution now in its fifth edition.
The problems of pollution in the seas worldwide are explained clearly, unemotionally, and authoritatively. This book is designed as an introductory textbook, but no particular knowledge is demanded of the reader; it can be used by engineers, economists, lawyers, or environmentalists who need to be informed about the effects of materials which are deliberately or accidentally discharged into the sea.
