Abstract Legislative criminal jurisdiction of coastal states over the pollution from foreign ships in the territorial sea and exclusive economic zones is established in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. However， the Convention puts strict restrictions over its exercise. Coastal states must follow the limitation of the Convention in order to legislate jurisdiction over the pollution from foreign ships. Compared to the relevant provisions of the Convention， Chinas legislation for preventing the pollution from foreign ships still has many problems. As the signatory country of the Convention， China should actively observe the Convention and perfect its criminal legislation over the pollution of foreign ships．
