Canadian environmental sustainability indicators : monitoring disposal at sea.: En4-144/5-1-2017E-PDF
"Disposal at sea is the deliberate discarding of approved material from a ship, aircraft, platform or other structure at sea. In Canada, it is illegal to dispose of material at sea without a permit. Permits are issued for non-hazardous material when it is determined that disposal at sea is the most environmentally preferable and practical alternative. The materials disposed of at sea are primarily dredged material, fish waste or excavation waste"--Monitoring disposal at sea indicator, p. 4.
