Congress Is Deliberating The Clean Cruise Ship Act of 2005

"The Clean Cruise Ship Act of 2005 will finally bring cruise ship pollution under control. It will prohibit discharges of sewage, graywater and oily water within 12 miles of our shores and in the Great Lakes, and set effluent standards for discharges beyond 12 miles. It will also provide for monitoring, sampling and inspections, promote the development of innovative marine pollution technology, and institute enforcement provisions to ensure compliance and accountability by the cruise industry." - excerpt from http://www.bluewaternetwork.org/alert_cv_cruise_act.shtml
