For thousands of years, the world's oceans had been a human dumping ground - from humble sewage to high-tech nuclear waste.
Then, in the seventies, the fledgling environmental organisation, Greenpeace, began a successful campaign to change practices that they said were merely short-sighted measures rather than long-term solutions.
