In the United States, scattering ashes at sea is subject to strict environmental regulations. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), scattering must be carried out at least three miles (about 4.8 kilometres) from the shore to prevent pollution of the coastal environment, and the ashes must be contained in a completely biodegradable urn to ensure they decompose quickly in seawater without leaving any harmful substances.
The thawing process must also comply with local maritime safety regulations and avoid interfering with shipping and fishing activities. Whether permission is required varies depending on state and sea area regulations. Some regions may require relevant agencies to be notified in advance. By complying with these institutional requirements, the ashes of the deceased can be returned to the sea in a manner that is environmentally friendly and respects nature, while protecting the long-term health of the marine ecosystem.
