Most coastal urban centres do not have a municipal policy for solid waste management

The main land based sources of marine litter are municipal landfills (waste dumps) located on the coast, riverine transport of waste from landfills and other sources, discharges of untreated municipal sewage and storm water, industrial facilities, medical waste and tourism (recreational visitors, beach goers).

Coastal urban centres are generating annually 30 to 40 million tonnes of municipal solid waste.

Similarly, burning municipal solid waste to recover energy produces trace amounts of mercury and dioxins.

Municipal waste water discharges are one of the most significant threats to coastal environments worldwide.

Rehabilitation of the Gaza municipal waste water treatment plant was completed in October 1997 after retendering of the contract.

Furthermore, municipal services have a reduced capacity for dealing with waste matter, because of a shortage of equipment and lack of spare parts.

In developing countries, many city authorities are unable to collect and transport more than a third of the solid waste generated due to limited municipal budgets.

In addition, the programme has contributed to environmental health in refugee camps by upgrading water, sewage and solid waste management infrastructures and integrating them with municipal and regional systems.

Rehabilitation of the Gaza municipal waste water treatment plant was delayed by accidental damage to a treatment pond and the need to retender the contract completion was expected soon.
