Callao’s Naval Base Inner Roadstead Pollution and Implementation of Environmental Management

Abstract

This article analyzes how environmental pollution has increased as man evolved. In the east of improving his way of life, the consumption of single-use products has been increasing just to meet the quality standards in their presentation. Likewise, the use of fossil fuels has modified our lives at a rate that the environment cannot compete with. In recent years, climate change has been causing havoc around the world and thus there is an immediate need to stop it. The harmful actions of human beings for burning fossil fuels excessively, throwing non-degradable waste into rivers (mostly plastics) and dumping toxic waste (detergents, cleaning chemicals, cooking oils, waste oil, among others), knowing that these will reach the sea one way or another, are causing this environmental damage to accelerate considerably, to the point of no return. This research will focus exclusively on Callao’s Naval Base (BASNACA) inner roadstead (RADIN), specifically on the assessment of Environmental Management measures that are carried out to face the pollution of said area, based on current regulations. This will help find areas for improvement and recommend the implementation of some more efficient measures in accordance with current technological progress.
