Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter

The Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter, often called the London Convention, is an international treaty aimed at protecting the marine environment from human activities. It regulates the dumping of waste and harmful materials into oceans to prevent pollution that can harm marine life and ecosystems. Countries that are part of this agreement must evaluate what waste can be dumped and follow established guidelines to minimize environmental impact. Essentially, it seeks to ensure that our oceans remain clean and healthy for future generations.
