🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR Part 151 – Garbage Pollution from Ships • Special protections around offshore platforms and structures involved in oil exploration or production • How distance limits for garbage discharge near platforms compare to general coastal distance limits

💭 Think About

• Think about why the regulations would require a specific minimum distance from oil platforms before any garbage discharge is allowed. Would it be relatively close, moderate, or quite far? • Compare the distances in the answer choices: which one most closely matches a clearly defined safety/pollution control zone you may have seen in the regulations? • Recall whether the regulations mention a round metric distance (in meters) that is then converted to feet for U.S. charts and exams.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact distance in meters specified in 33 CFR for garbage discharge from offshore platforms, then match the closest feet conversion in the options. • Check that the distance is tied specifically to fixed or floating platforms engaged in exploration, exploitation, or production of seabed mineral resources. • Confirm that this distance is different from the general distance-from-land rules for garbage discharge (e.g., 3 NM, 12 NM, etc.).
