Currently, the pollution of the marine environment is becoming increasingly serious, and how to resolve this issue becomes the difficult tasks that the governments must face. There are many problems in the governance of pollution of the marine environment. Law enforcement is one of them. The United States, Canada and United Kingdom are marine powers, and they have much experience in the practice of law enforcement of marine environmental protection. This paper made a brief presentation on the concept of law enforcement of marine environmental protection at first. Next, it gave specific details on the practice of these three countries. The following main characteristics could be concluded through the analysis of their practice: the maritime law enforcement agencies of three countries are relatively uniform, and they can exercise the power of maritime law enforcement unified; in order to give comprehensive protection to the marine environment, three countries` central government and local governments, maritime law enforcement agencies and other government agencies or civil organizations all work together; Each country has a sound legal system and forms a more comprehensive legal system to protect the marine environment, providing a solid legal basis of law enforcement of marine environmental protection; for the prevention of pollution of the marine environment development tailored to the national contingency plan and make detailed arrangements in response to oil spills at sea and other unexpected disaster incidents; three countries are all focused on strengthening the international cooperation of the protection of the marine environment, in order to provide mutual aid basis they enter into bilateral or multilateral agreements with the neighboring countries or participation in global multilateral international conventions. In this general trend, the Chinese government also attaches great importance to law enforcement of protecting the marine environment. In recent years Chinese government have issued several maritime law enforcement annual reports, which provide a lot of superstition for marine environmental protection, meanwhile it also launched special campaigns on the protection of the marine environment. However, in China there are also many problems in this regard. Thereby, according to the law enforcement practice of marine environmental protection of the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom and with the national conditions in China, this paper raised a number of options and recommendations in respect of the development of law and policy, the establishment of maritime law enforcement officials, the coordination relationship between relative agencies, the supervision of law enforcement, international cooperation, public participation, staff training and technical support.
