Pollution Prevention in the Coastal Zone
Introduction
This article begins by defining pollution prevention (P2). The authors
then show P2's relevance to coastal management and describe how
economic and marine policy analysts view P2. They also review major
federal legislation and this compendium's four case studies.

Case Study
Sewage Sludge Pelletization (Boston)
The sheer scale of the Boston Harbor Cleanup Project makes it an important
subject of coastal policy. This case looks at the issues surrounding
pelletization of sludge; describes source reduction through removal of
leaded solder and industrial pretreatment of sewage; and describes efforts
to upgrade treatment, extend it to more of Boston's wastewater, and
promote external reuse of sewage sludge. (This case includes discussion
questions.)

Case Study
The Role of P2 in Reducing Nutrient
Enrichment (Chesapeake Bay)
This case examines the role of P2 in a large, multi-jurisdictional effort
to reduce nutrient enrichment from fertilizer runoff, air pollution,
sewage and industrial outfalls, deforestation, and urban development. The
largely voluntary source reduction strategies include banning phosphates,
controlling coastal development, and establishing riparian buffers along
rivers and streams. (This case includes discussion questions.)

Case Study
Waste Reduction at Sea: Pollution
Prevention Strategies on Miami-Based Cruise Lines
Examines how and why the Miami-based cruise line industry is using
source reduction, recycling, and land disposal to avoid dumping trash
in the ocean. Incentives include stricter international and U.S.
legislation, greater public scrutiny, and growing industry awareness.
(This case includes discussion questions.)

Case Study
Pollution Prevention in the Marinas of
Broward County, Florida
Boat maintenance and servicing activities are sources of sewage, toxic
substances, and petroleum hydrocarbons in coastal waters. To reduce this
pollution, county environmental regulators and marina industry
representatives cooperatively developed Best Management Practices to
encouraged activities ranging throughout the P2 hierarchy. (This
case includes discussion questions.)
