London Convention and Protocol: Guidelines for the Development of Action Lists and Action Levels
Publication in English and FrenchPrinted version
Essential Compliance Tool for Marine Environmental Protection
This authoritative publication delivers critical technical guidance for maritime professionals tasked with managing dredged materials under the London Convention 1972 and its 1996 Protocol. Developed through international collaboration, it establishes a standardized framework for assessing the environmental impact of ocean disposal operations, ensuring compliance with global marine protection standards.
Comprehensive Framework for Sediment Assessment
The guidelines provide a systematic approach to evaluating dredged materials through two key components: action lists and action levels. Action lists identify chemical substances, biological responses, and other characteristics that warrant concern, while action levels establish decision thresholds for determining whether sediments can be safely disposed of at sea. This dual-system approach enables consistent, science-based decision-making across jurisdictions.
International Expertise for National Implementation
Developed with contributions from leading maritime nations including Australia and Canada, as well as organizations such as Greenpeace and the OECD, this publication reflects global best practices in marine environmental management. It empowers contracting parties to develop their own national action lists while maintaining alignment with international standards, facilitating harmonized implementation of the London Convention and Protocol.
