According to the association, resorts discard food waste and other organic material in complete adherence to regulations formulated specifically for the tourism industry by the Ministry of Environment. However, environmentalists have long reported practices otherwise, and it should be noted, being that food waste is primarily sourced from land, such rubbish is often not suited for dumping into the midst of a marine ecosystem.
