Ospar Convention

     · ”OSPAR started in 1972 with the Oslo Convention against dumping and was broadened to cover land-

       based sources of marine pollution and the offshore industry by the Paris Convention of 1974. These

       two conventions were unified, up-dated and extended by the 1992 OSPAR Convention. The new annex

       on biodiversity and ecosystems was adopted in 1998 to cover non-polluting human activities that

       can adversely affect the sea.”
