Overtourism & Cruise Ship Waste

This post contains the following information from the February Zoom meeting:

  • The two presentations – click on the image to view
  •  An email issued to answer questions raised about the offloading of international cruise waste in Victoria
  • The video recording of the meeting

The Presentations

This presentation points out the health risks associated with ultrafine particulate matter and how levels will be measured during the cruise season. High levels very likely will not occur but this is a long overdue step in taking actual, as district from theoretical,  measurements of cruise ship pollutants

This presentation details the negative aspects of overtourism, pollution and the importation of foreign garbage and details the steps required to acieve a responsible cruise industry.
