The report examines problems associated with sewage, solid waste, industrial and agricultural activities, physical alteration of coastal areas, hydrocarbons, and other pollutants. It draws on regional information and country reports covering fifteen countries, identifies emerging and foreseeable environmental problems, and presents strategies, measures, and priorities for national, regional, and international cooperation.
