<u>Explanation:</u>
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) takes initiative to instill certain regulations to maintain the Ocean and its resources with the help of coastal guards and NGO’s. The Ocean coast is polluted due to various avoidable and unavoidable pollutants like oil leakage, industries letting in their waste, ship wrecks etc.
President Richard Nixon was the one who created this EPA. The EPA takes utmost care by educating the people of the necessity to maintain the coast in a disciplined attitude so as to have a pollution free oceanic coast which would in turn not adhere into the relevant working stream. Avoiding litter is the main rule that has been imposed.
