[Image: buZ52L5.png]The Amelioration Of Maritime Conditions
A resolution to increase the quality of the world's environment, at the expense of industry.
Category: EnvironmentalIndustry Affected: All Businesses - MildProposed by: Radical Republic
 
Recognizing the vast amount of pollutants in the hydrosphere.

Defining a maritime pollutant as a pollutant that affects the hydrosphere or on its organisms. These pollutants are limited to substance added directly to the hyrdosphere through methods like dumping or runoff. Airborne pollutants are exempt.

Wishing to monitor and record the sources and track the severity of pollutants in the hydrosphere.

Hereby:
  1. Requires all governmental organizations to keep a record of any and all pollutants added by them to the hydrosphere.
  2. Encourages governments to legislate private corporations to keep a record themselves.
  3. Requires the record to be accessible to anyone who wishes to view it. This includes other governments or citizens.
  4. Mandating that member nations above the recorded international average must reduce their maritime pollutant production 5% by the end of the fiscal year.

The proposal, while well intended, is too weak to have any real impacts. Clause 1 very narrowly defines what type of pollutants the proposal addresses, making it very difficult for member nations to legally enforce. Furthermore, Clause 4 mandating that each nation must reduce its maritime pollutant production by 5% each year does not fix anything. Countries who are committing mass environmental atrocities will continue to be able to with few setbacks. For these reasons, Alistair Stonesworth and the government of Concrete Slab will be voting Against this proposal.
