Analyze the Ocean Dumping Act. How effective have it been? Who are the Stakeholders?
Look at the controversies surrounding programs, policy impacts on the environment; impacts on specific stakeholder groups; environmental justice; impacts on future generations; and, economic cost-effectiveness. Base your analysis on literature, published data and your own analysis of the literature and data.
Be critical in your analysis of:
· Environmental effectiveness
· economic feasibility
· behavioral and social change
· cost
· institutional feasibility
Implementation problems
Budget, legal challenges, lack of information
Why did implementation failed (in the case of existing policies)? What do you learn from this to guide future policy implementations?
Public involvement and opinion
Are the general public happy?
Do they take part in the implementation?
