Twentieth Century has confronted with environmental pollution due to rapid population increase, industrialization etc. The environmental accidents give rise to fatal problems in every life sphere of Mankind. In case of ocean pollution accidents the international efforts to restore and amend pollution damages has been made. The vital results of the efforts are 1969 International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage(CLC 1969), 1971 International Convention on the Establishment of International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage(FC 1971) and the protocol of the conventions (Protocol of 1992 to amend the International Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage, 1969 and the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage, 1971). Recently International Convention on Liability and Compensation for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and Noxious Substances by Sea 1996(HNS 1996) and International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil Pollution Damage, 2001 (Bunkers Convention 2001) has been established. This thesis deals with International Legislative Efforts for Protecting Ocean Environment, and synthetic devices for prevention and recovering ocean pollution and coping with the conventions.
