 Inefficient monitoring systems

The Environmental Management Authority has litter Wardens who enforce the law but in the
absence of these wardens it’s possible that waste are being disposed of into the sea. While there are
guidelines for proper waste disposal there is no effective monitoring of the practices of industries,
persons and also yacht owners. This inefficiency will also cause lack of respect for anti- litter
legislation. In Trinidad there are anti-litter legislation and litter wardens to enforce the laws. The
Environmental Management Authority Act Chap 35:05 Section 3 states that littering in public places
can cause a person $4000.00 or 6 months imprisonment and a corporation or a business $8000.00 but
garbage are still being left on the beaches by beach goes and the oil spills from industries are still
polluting our beaches.
