This disclosure comprises regulatory guidance on Australia's sea dumping framework under the Environment Protection (Sea Dumping) Act 1981, which implements the London Convention and London Protocol. Documents outline the seven waste categories permitted for ocean dumping, regulations for artificial reef placement, and emerging frameworks for marine climate interventions including ocean fertilization. The 2013 London Protocol amendment specifically addresses marine geoengineering techniques, with Australia participating in international discussions on regulating four additional priority techniques. The disclosure includes a 2023 parliamentary debate brief on amendments enabling new climate mitigation technologies in sea dumping legislation. No quantified environmental data, specific project decisions, EPBC Act determinations, or conflict between scientific advice and ministerial decisions are evident in these excerpts.
