Debris as Conservation Efforts; An international Asean Law

Introduction
The solutions to plastic pollution are complex, the requisite global response must be
holistic and dynamic, requiring coordinated action by diverse stakeholders at the nasional,
regional, and international levels
Management of Maritime Zone and Maritime Areas about Coast/Baseline, Territorial

Main international instruments related to marine debris UNCLOS, 1982 Reduce and
control pollution of the marine environment from any source. IMO-MARPOL Annex V and

management, port facilities, and international cooperation

Plastic Waste Amendements, 2019

Plastic as hazardous waste
Parties need to:
-Make further efforts at the domestic level to prevent and minimize plastic waste
-Promote environmentally sound and efficient maanagement
-Ensure that transboundary movements are

Microplastic influence on fish genetics

Marine microplastics will affect many aspects of marine fish and the marine food chain.
Microplastics can have a toxic effect on fish and other aquatic life, including decreased food
intake, growth retardation, oxidative damage and abnormal behavior. In addition, nanoscale
microplastics penetrate the biological barrier and accumulate in tissues, leading to the formation
of ROS, which can affect lipid metabolism and further impair life at the molecular level. For
example, fish that ate nanosized polystyrene particles in the aquatic food chain showed
significant differences in body weight, serum triglyceride to cholesterol ratio, muscle and liver
cholesterol levels, and other metabolic parameters. But overall, current research on the
toxicological effects of microplastics in fish is still in its infancy, and research reports on the
effects and mechanisms of growth, development and metabolism in fish are still very limited.
And fish are an important group in the marine ecosystem, they play a key role in the process of
material circulation, energy flow and information transmission, and their health status can be
directly related to the stability of the structure and role of the marine environment. ecosystem. In
addition, since fish is an important source for humans to obtain animal protein, marine pollutants
can enter the human body through accumulation with fish and endanger human health.
Therefore, it is of great importance to conduct studies on the ecological impact of microplastics
in fish. Microplastics are widespread in the marine environment due to the small size of their
particles; They are readily eaten by marine life and produce a range of toxic effects including
stunting of growth and development, effects on feeding capacity and feeding behavior,
reproductive toxicity, immunotoxicity, genetic damage, etc.
Microplastics can cause genetic damage to marine life. Studies have shown that
microplastics adsorb polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, cause immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity and
genotoxicity to M. galloprovincialis and can cause genetic damage in mussels. However, there
are currently few studies on the genotoxicity of microplastics to marine life.
