ABSTRACT

Marine pollution poses a substantial threat to the sustainability of the blue economy by disrupting ecosystems and coastal livelihoods. This research explores the complex interplay between wastewater treatment technology and governmental policies in mitigating marine contamination. It delineates the many categories and origins of marine pollution, emphasizing their detrimental impacts on marine ecosystems and socioeconomic systems. The effectiveness of advanced treatment technologies and their integration into marine protection strategies are assessed. The study underscores the necessity for governments to adopt coordinated policies that align wastewater management with marine conservation efforts. Furthermore, it addresses the obstacles to the adoption of new technology and regulations, while pushing for increased global collaboration and the advancement of sustainable practices. The results emphasize the necessity for extensive policy proposals that synchronize wastewater laws with marine pollution goals, therefore facilitating a robust blue economy.
