Referring to recent experience concerned with the deterioration of marine ecosystems and degradation of their environmental qualities, it is urged that the problems of the future are identical with or they are based on the environmental problems of today. Environmental damages are caused by macropollutants as well as micropollutants, they may be irreversible by nature and irrevocable in their development. Confidence in the prevention of future problems is therefore closely related to the proper protection of the environment today. This prevention should be based on analysis and problem identification in their entirety, and methods of protection should concentrate on the sources of environmental impact — rather than on restorations and remedial actions at the level of environmental target systems.
