❌ Le déversement des bâteaux de croisières

LA CROISIÈRE S'AMUSE .... Repost : Cruise ships may conjure visions of azure seas and luxurious escapes, but behind the glamour lies an unsettling environmental reality. Key Facts: • The cruise industry discharges over 1 billion gallons of sewage into the ocean annually. • This figure jumps further when considering greywater, plus oily bilge water, toxic chemicals, and plastic debris. • In terms of CO₂ emissions, cruising is surprisingly dirty: • Cruise ships account for around 0.2% of global CO₂ emissions, emitting up to 4.5 million tonnes of GHGs annually. • A single medium-sized ship emits as much CO₂ as 12,000 cars. • Fuel consumption can reach 80,000 gallons of marine fuel per day per large vessel. Marine Life & Ecosystems in Jeopardy: • Sewage and waste introduce toxins, microplastics, and excess nutrients, causing algal blooms, oxygen loss, and fish kills. • Greywater and scrubber washwater contain harmful chemicals, some more toxic to plankton than crude oil. • Noise and light pollution disrupt marine species, masking whale songs and altering plankton behavior. How can the cruise industry be held more accountable. for both its carbon footprint and its toxic marine discharges?
