The Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA), also known as the Ocean Dumping Act, regulates the transportation and dumping of any material into ocean waters. 

Please join us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the MPRSA by exploring an interactive StoryMap and learning about the MPRSA and how EPA protects human health and the marine environment from pollution caused by ocean dumping.
