The Qingdao Maritime Affairs Office recently held a campaign at Lundu Dock, aimed at publicizing protection of the ocean environment.

　　As the trial competition and the 2008 regatta approach, the local maritime affairs office will carry out special inspections to limit the pollutant discharge within Qingdao's sea area. Those illegally discharging pollutants along the seashore will be punished. In addition, oil and grease and wastewater from ships harboring at ports will be closely monitored to ensure "zero draining". The treatment of wastes on ships will also have to observe stricter standards to avoid seawater pollution.
