This new edition provides a balanced account of what wastes are discharged into the sea or get there accidentally, what happens to them when they get there, the effect they have on the marine environment, and the threats they present to human health. As well as being completely updated, case histories have been replaced by more recent ones, and the whole book has been given a greater international emphasis. This new edition has a new chapter to explain techniques for measuring change in the marine environment, extended further reading, and more emphasis on tropical seas.

"The book is so exceptionally well written and clear that the concepts are completely understandable by anyone with even a passing interest in the pollution of our seas. A most readable and informative book." --Environmental Policy and Practice
