“Extensive environmental violations”
Ooooh, the horror! Dumping human poop tanks too far into glacier bay is a catastrophe. Can’t have human poop mixing with whale poop, increasing fertilization of the sea grass, krill and plankton which support the food chain.
One or two vessels doing that is not the issue. Thousands doing so is the problem, with no one — not even Carnival and its billionaire owner — entitled to disregard the law. And I note that Carnival pleaded guilty both times, on facts that showed aggravated and fully intentional violations.
