🔍 Key Concepts

• MARPOL Annex V garbage discharge requirements • Difference between ground/comminuted garbage and unprocessed garbage • Why a specific mesh size is required before discharge at sea

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to garbage particles in the marine environment when they are discharged—how small do they need to be to reduce the risk to marine life and navigation? • Compare the mesh sizes in the choices: which one would produce particles that are clearly small enough to be considered ground or comminuted, rather than just broken into large chunks? • Consider that international regulations are usually conservative to protect the environment—how might that influence the maximum allowed mesh size?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in MARPOL Annex V or its U.S. implementation in 33 CFR what size is specified for ground or comminuted garbage screens. • Check that the size you pick would clearly make garbage particles substantially smaller than typical food scraps or packaging pieces. • Confirm that the chosen mesh size reflects a maximum opening (i.e., particles cannot be larger than that dimension).
