The Armed Services conducted sea-disposal operations that involved U.S. and foreign CWM. The CWM was deposited in both U.S. coastal waters and off foreign shores (Congressional Research Service, 2007). The Department of Defense has identified 19 CWM sea-disposal sites in U.S. coastal waters (Defense Environmental Program, Annual Report to Congress Fiscal Year 2007). Known disposals in U.S. coastal waters occurred in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, off the coasts of Hawai‘i and Alaska and two instances in the Mississippi River, near Louisiana.
