Despite the efforts of the International Marine Organization (IMO), through the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Antifouling Systems on Ships to ban the use of TBT-based antifouling paints (September 2008), and the Rotterdam Convention (RC) to forbid the trade of tributyltin (TBT), the situation does not seem to have significantly changed since 2014 when TBT-based paints were shown to be still being manufactured in the United States and offered for sale in stores throughout the Caribbean and Central America. In fact, this study shows that seven years later the same situation not only persists, but may have an even more global distribution than previously thought.
尽管国际海事组织（IMO）通过《国际控制船舶有害防污系统公约》（2008 年 9 月）禁止使用 TBT 基防污漆，以及《鹿特丹公约》（RC）禁止贸易三丁基锡（TBT），但自 2014 年以来，情况似乎并没有明显变化，当时发现美国仍在生产 TBT 基涂料，并在加勒比和中美洲各地的商店销售。事实上，这项研究表明，七年后，同样的情况不仅仍然存在，而且可能比以前想象的分布更广泛。
