such as waste reduction. Researchers could help educate their peers by promoting recognition of the marine debris problem and Annex V compliance strategies at scientific conferences.
Regulatory interventions include limiting equipment packaging brought on board and requiring the holding of certain materials for recycling. In addition, logs of garbage transactions could be maintained, not only on research vessels covered by the present record-keeping regulations but also on voyages supported by the federal government. The utility of keeping logs on public vessels would have to be weighed, however.
Economic interventions are particularly important in this sector, to make it easier for researchers and vessel crews to comply. As suggested by the analysis of intelligence and control, funds need to be provided for on-board garbage handling equipment (where needed) and efforts need to be made to assure availability of port reception facilities. Absent such measures, the willingness of oceanographers to comply will be wasted. In addition, returning monies from recycling programs to vessel crews could foster voluntary compliance.
