To whom it may concern,

Ban scrubbers. There is a yawning loophole that allows cruise ships to burn one of the dirtiest fossil fuels on earth - heavy fuel oil - by 'scrubbing' the exhaust and discharge the toxin-laden wastewater directly into the ocea...↓

This is a huge opportunity for the cruise sector to show that they are committed to changing their polluting ways by agreeing to end the dumping of all scrubber wastes in Puget Sound. Please approve amendment #2 and ban scrubbers.

Marine ecosystem needs a healthy home to survive. The COVID-19 pandemic has been an ongoing tragedy on a global scale, but the resulting cessation of cruise vessel traffic in the Puget Sound has been a welcome reprieve from the water pollution these ships create. That's why scrubber dumping cannot return to the Sound. I support amendment #2.

Sincerely, Angela

Majorly, the earth's marine ecosystem needs a healthy home. The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global problem, sure, but the good side is that we had no cruise vessel traffic in the Puget Sound. Ugh, the horrible dumping has stopped for awhile! Don't let it return! Please don't let scrubber dumping return to the Sound. I fully support Amendment #2 and ask you to make it a reality.

The solution to this pollution is not dilution.
Scrubbers move the pollution from one location to another. This does not eliminate the pollution source.
For too long now the approach to pollution has been to clean it after the pollution has occurred. ...↓

Marine ecosystem/ animals need a healthy home to survive. The COVID-19 pandemic has been an ongoing tragedy on a global scale, but the resulting cessation of cruise vessel traffic in the Puget Sound has been a welcome reprieve from the water pollution these ships create. That's why scrubber dumping cannot return to the Sound. I support amendment#2.

This is so long overdue and such a no-brainer. I love to cruise but since I was made aware of this kind of rampant environmental abuse, I won't do any more cruising until it's fixed.

I understand that banning the discharge of scrubber wastes is on the table during consideration of amendments to the MOU.

Scrubbers should be banned for good in order to maintain a healthy ecosystem needed for the survival of threatened orcas and Chin...↓

Surely anyone can see there's no real merit in trading air pollution for water pollution! Both are destructive to our environment. Both damage (or end) the lives of living creatures. Cruise companies must find other ways to filter their garbage witho...↓

Outlaw scrubbers on cruize ships. Require cruize ships to use ecologically sound practices to protect the oceans.

The wildlife that makes the Pudget Sound so glorious needs clean water, not cruise ships dumping waste- please protect and uphold those protections for what really matters- the waters and the animals. HUmans need to learn to care about all of life other than their own selfish interests. Live simply so others- aka the wildlife can simply live!

Our Pacific Ocean is not well and has sustained a great deal of harm due to Japan's tsunami. We must stop ourselves from subjecting it to further damage. Keep your garbage out.
