Question 2558 Deck General

The correct answer is D) Red Sea. The Red Sea is designated as a special area under Annex V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78). Special areas are regions where the adoption of special mandatory methods for the prevention of sea pollution is required. In the case of the Red Sea, the discharge of all garbage is prohibited, with some limited exceptions, due to its semi-enclosed nature and the need for enhanced protection. The other options, such as the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Great Lakes, and the Sargasso Sea, are not designated as special areas under MARPOL Annex V.
