人类垃圾，特别是塑料对世界海洋的污染，是那些解决方案似乎遥远的环境问题之一，尽管公众对太平洋的“大垃圾带”，“塑料汤”等给予了相当大的关注。这一“海洋垃圾”（或“海洋碎片”）问题的特点是来源分散，造成一系列不利的环境影响，包括信天翁、管鼻蝠、海龟、海豹和各种其他海洋野生动物的缠绕和吞食。本文探讨了国际法在管理海洋垃圾方面不断演变的作用，包括《保护东北大西洋海洋环境公约》和欧盟《海洋战略框架指令》的最新发展。
The contamination of the world's oceans by human garbage, especially plastics, ranks among those environmental problems whose resolution appears remote, despite the considerable public attention paid to the 'Great Garbage Patch' in the Pacific, 'plastic soup', and the like. This 'marine litter' (or 'marine debris') problem is characterized by diffuse sources and an array of adverse environmental impacts, including entanglement of and ingestion by albatrosses, fulmars, turtles, seals and a variety of other marine wildlife. This article explores the evolving role of international law in the efforts to manage marine litter, including recent developments involving the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR Convention) and the European Union's Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD).
