Although this paper examines specifically the problem of oil pollution of the marine environment by vessels, the underlying theme concerns the interdependence of everything on the Earth. This paper provides an overview of the problem as it exists prior to the 1976 New York Law of the Sea Conference. To examine the question properly, initial definitions must be provided concerning the marine ecosystem, oil, and the interaction of these two. Next the paper explains international awareness of the problem and the general history of international cooperation. Then the various international agreements concerning oil pollution of the marine ecosystem are discussed.
