Question

Suggest three measures that can be taken to help reduce the effects of coastal pollution.

Answer 1

Answer:

1.

Explanation:

1. Ban single use plastic and adopt litter control policies Litter control can also include the use of natural drainage systems and urban design to prevent direct littering into drainage systems and waterways, better maintenance of drainage systems, beach and harbor cleanup services; and community-led programs for clean-ups. In this effort, it is important to strengthen national and regional policies and regulations, as well as increase efforts to ensure compliance and enforcement.

2.Reduce or recycle plastic

Fees, voluntary programs, and bans on import and use of common litter such as single-use plastics bottles, straws, plastic bags, and single-use Styrofoam food containers. This should also involve efforts to limit the production and use of plastic in non-recoverable items, such as microbeads in personal care products and cosmetics. Encourage reduction of use of non-biodegradable products or packaging, as well as reuse of plastic items.

3.Control chemical and industrial pollution

Identify chemical pollutants hotspots, control the use and release of chemicals in artisanal mining, promote recycling of used oil in urban areas, and incentivize production of durable products that require less energy to manufacture and generate less waste. Partner with industries to implement better practices for the storage and handling of pollutants, and discharges from industrial sites.
