摘要：Studies established that oceans cover 71% of the Earth's surface.
This area of the planet, nowadays, suffers from plastic pollution due to its
inadequate disposal, which affects marine fauna and flora. Only 9% of these
plastics are reused or recycled, meaning that the rest ends up being garbage that
goes into different places. According to United Nations Environmental Program,
about 90% of the waste that is floating in the oceans comes from plastic or
derived. Given this scenario, the UN has established the conservation and
sustainable use of oceans, seas and marine resources as one of its sustainable
development main goals, to be accomplished in 2030. This goal will not be
achieved without the containment of contemporary predatory capitalism, were the
general model of life is linked to consumption, as a way of demonstrating the
identity of the individual, his ethical values and behaviors, requiring more effective coercive norms, organized with economic incentive policies. Considering that
Brazil and Panama are ROCRAM members, and that one of its main principles
is to integrate efforts and exchange experiences in order to make more effective
implementation of international conventions on maritime pollution, it’s possible to
compare these two countries related legislation. As a result of an ongoing
research, this paper proposes as a mechanism to approach to a possible answer
and to address the following points in the investigation: What are the international
environmental agreements related to the protection against incorrect plastic
disposal and ocean pollution? What are the environmental legal norms applied
by Brazil and Panama, and the relationship between the legal norms and the
effectiveness (or not) of pollution reduction? The methodology is based on a
descriptive investigation, through data collection, making an analysis and
focusing on solving the questions established above, according to the existing
international legislation, aiming for ocean protection.
