In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin dives into the hidden environmental impacts of cruise ships, particularly focusing on the use of scrubbers that discharge toxic chemicals into our oceans. While cruise ships offer a unique way to explore beautiful destinations, they also contribute to pollution that can harm coastal communities and ecosystems.
Join Andrew as he discusses:
The allure of cruise ships and the floating cities they create.
The environmental regulations (or lack thereof) surrounding cruise ship operations.
A recent study highlighting the pollution caused by scrubbers used on cruise ships in Alaska.
The importance of making informed choices when selecting cruise options, including eco-friendly alternatives.
How individual travelers can support sustainable tourism practices.
Learn how you can make a difference and advocate for cleaner oceans while enjoying your travels. Don't forget to share your thoughts and experiences in the comments!
