“Don’t poo in the blue!”
Tuesday PM (SitNews) Anchorage, Alaska - With the summer boating season underway, Alaska Department of Environmental Commissioner Jason Brune reminds recreational and commercial boaters that it is illegal to discharge untreated sewage anywhere in the State’s freshwaters or the marine waters within three miles of Alaska’s shores. This includes dumping buckets, leaning over the rail, as well as bypassing the holding tanks of an on-board toilet whether in a harbor, at anchor, on the fishing grounds, or while underway. Reminder letters were sent to all Alaska Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission permit holders reminding them of their responsibility to protect Alaska’s pristine waters.
