xix Introduction Legal measures for the protection and the preservation of the marine environment have advanced considerably in the last two decades. Global and regional treaties have been introduced for marine-based sources of pollution such as vessel-source pollution (MARPOL 73/78) and dumping at sea (London Dumping Convention). However, experience seems to suggest that the other, possibly more significant, sources of marine pollution, such as land-based, river and atmospheric pollution, are likely to be better regulated at a regional level. With the establishment of the Oslo Commission on dumping and the Paris Commission on land-based pollution, the littoral states of the North-East Atlantic have taken the lead in the development of a regional policy, which has been followed by other regions (e.g. the Medi- terranean). In the North-East Atlantic this regulatory response has been paralleled by the emergence of extensive formal and informal consultative forums. So exten- . sive has this regional system become that even the emergence of the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention (although it contains some new elements likely to be of interest to the North Sea littoral states) did not substantially affect the regional framework for the protection and preservation of the marine environment
