Abstract
In the UK, various initiatives have been launched in an attempt to provide guidance on the occurrence and avoidance of oil and chemical pollution. Des pite these efforts, oil and chemicals remain a major cause of pollution. In Canada, similar initiatives have been more successful due to a participati ve approach to campaign development and implementation. This paper compares UK and Canadian initiatives and identifies factors which led to the succes s of the Canadian campaigns.
