Hundreds of birds have been washed-up along the south coast, covered in an unidentified "creamy waxy substance". The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) said the guillemots, a kind of auk, were discovered on Lyme Bay near Weymouth. They have been taken to West Hatch Animal Centre in Taunton but attempts to clean them have been hampered by not knowing what the substance is, Grahame Madge, of the RSPB, said.

Oh, really...? You wouldn't be full of shit, would you...? Cruise Ship Dumping of Trash & Feces Conflicts With Industry's Image as Steward of the Seas [link to www.cruiselawnews.com] [snip] The officials believe that the sewage and garbage were dumped from a Holland America Line cruise ship which sailed off the coast of northern Massachusetts last month. The harbormaster took photos of the debris and found a cruise ship cabin tag amongst the sewage. The HAL PR people are denying everything of course, but there is no dispute that cruise lines dump untreated sewage a few miles from shore. USA Today has picked up on the story and points out that bulk garbage from cruise ships is supposed to be "incinerated, grinded, compacted or crushed" (which still is a nasty way to pollute the oceans) but do we believe that always happens? What makes this case particularly offensive is that this area of coastline is a "No Discharge Zone" so [b]the requirements are even more stringent than normal. I wonder who the cruise industry folks at CLIA are going to blame for this story? |
