✦ Synopsis

Working Group on the State of the Marine Environment set up by GESAMP (Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Pollution), and a member of the Council of the Marine Conservation Society, while indicating that the open oceans are in good condition, points out that 'coastal zones around the world are significantly at risk from human activities.' The UK's coastal waters, particularly the North Sea, Irish Sea and English Channel, are significantly at risk. Sewage, nutrients and synthetic organic compounds are the three main pollutants that are causing concern .
