S-364 ATTENTION! SECURE ALL LOOSE ARTICLES!

NOAA Fisheries now expects petroleum industry personnel to
pick up and recover any articles lost overboard from boats and
offshore structures as safety conditions permit. Protect marine
animals, as well as your valuable time and money, by doing the
following to prevent accidental loss of these items: Properly
securing all materials, equipment and personal belongings.
Articles such as hardhats, life vests, sunglasses, cigarette
lighters, parts bags, buckets, shrink wrap, strip lumber, and pipe
thread protectors become marine debris when lost overboard.
Making sure that all trash receptacles have tight fitting lids and
(8.81x5.81) $7.50 that the lids are used. Providing and using secure cigarette butt
containers. Cigarette butts are one of the most common forms
of marine debris. Many cigarette butts contain some form of
plastic and do not decompose in the ocean. Cigarette butts pose
a major threat to marine wildlife, as they resemble food and
cause gut blockages and starvation when ingested. Doing your
part to eliminate marine debris. Encourage others to be
responsible about marine debris by making suggestions to
secure potential marine debris on your boat or structure or by
participating in a beach cleanup. [Complies with MMS NTL
2002-G13, Nov. 15, 2002]

S-365 ATTENTION! MARINE DEBRIS MAY CAUSE
SEVERE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE! Marine debris
discarded or lost from offshore and coastal sources may
injure or kill fish, marine mammals, sea turtles, seabirds
and other wildlife. Thousands of marine animals, including
marine mammals, sea turtles and seabirds, die every year from
entanglement in fishing line, strapping bands, discarded ropes
and nets and plastic six-pack rings. Additionally, unknown
(8.81x5.81) $7.50 numbers of marine animals die each year from internal injury,
intestinal blockage and starvation as a result of ingesting
marine debris. Marine debris fouls boat propellers and clogs
water intake ports on engines thereby endangering the safety
of fishermen and boaters and resulting in heavy loss of time
and money. Marine debris detracts from the aesthetic quality
of recreational beaches and shorelines and increases the cost of
park and beach maintenance. . [Complies with MMS NTL
2002-G13, Nov. 15, 2002]
S-366 WARNING! YOUR ACTIONS MAY SUBJECT YOU TO
SEVERE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES! The disposal and/or
discharge of any solid waste anywhere in the marine environment
(other than ground-up food particles) is strictly prohibited by U.S.
Coast Guard and Environmental Protection Agency regulations.
THIS INCLUDES MATERIALS OR DEBRIS
(8.81x5.81) $7.50 ACCIDENTALLY LOST OVERBOARD. The disposal of
equipment, cables, chains, containers or other materials into offshore
waters is prohibited by the Minerals Management Service (30 CFR
250.300(b)(6)). THIS INCLUDES MATERIALS OR DEBRIS
ACCIDENTALLY LOST OVERBOARD. . [Complies with
MMS NTL 2002-G13, Nov. 15, 2002]
S-367 WHAT IS MARINE DEBRIS? Marine debris is any object
or fragment of wood, metal, glass, rubber, plastic, cloth, paper or
any other man-made item or material that is lost or discarded in
the marine environment. Marine debris may be intentionally
dumped, accidentally dropped, or indirectly deposited.
(8.81x 5.81) $7.50 Whatever the source, marine debris is a direct result of human
activities on land and at sea. Depending upon its composition,
marine debris may sink to the seafloor, drift in the water column,
or float on the surface of the sea. Certain debris, such as plastics,
can persist for hundreds of years in the marine environment
without decomposing.
