🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex V garbage restrictions for plastics vs. other garbage • Difference between distance-from-shore limits and absolute prohibitions • Meaning of "none of the above are correct" when all listed distances are specific numbers

💭 Think About

• Is plastic ever allowed to be discharged at sea under current international and U.S. regulations, or is it treated differently from food waste and paper? • Look at each distance option: are these distances you recognize for garbage categories like dunnage, paper, or food waste, or for plastics specifically? • If regulations say something is prohibited "anywhere at sea," which of the listed choices best matches that idea?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what MARPOL Annex V and 33 CFR say specifically about discharge of plastics • Compare known discharge distances (3, 12, 25 nm) used for other types of garbage, not plastics • Confirm whether the regulations allow any exception for throwing plastics overboard at any distance from shore
