Which of the following is NOT a MARPOL, Annex V, Special Area?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — Great Lakes

MARPOL Annex V defines Special Areas where discharge requirements are more stringent due to oceanographic and ecological conditions. While the Mediterranean, Black, and Red Seas are designated Special Areas, the Great Lakes are governed by separate, even stricter U.S. and Canadian regulations, not the MARPOL Special Area designation.
