dc.descriptionThis report presents a practical framework for assessing the marine pollution implications of coastal area development. Developed by the Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Pollution, it is specifically designed to support informed planning and decision-making, particularly in developing countries. The document outlines guidelines for collecting and interpreting essential physical, chemical, and biological data needed to evaluate environmental impacts. It details baseline observational programmes—including aerial and remote sensing, oceanographic surveys, and biological sampling—and offers structured methodologies for pollution assessment using matrices and site selection criteria. Emphasis is placed on identifying known pollution sources, evaluating sensitive ecosystems, and understanding coastal processes such as sedimentation, circulation, and waste dispersion. The report underscores the importance of multidisciplinary coordination and data-driven environmental impact assessment to avoid irreversible damage.en
