Does that justify boats dumping food waste overboard Sail445? I don't think so. Imagine how our beautiful bays would look if everyone did this. I think its pretty sad.

The currents and tides take everything out to sea. After a big rainfall the bays are infected with animal feces and other waste from the run off and a day later it’s out to sea

I have sailed many years ,many places - from Panama, Throughout the Caribbean, most East coast harbors, the St Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes to Green Bay -- every single place had floating food waste and surely waste on the sea floor = every where there were boats there was trash in the water --- not always from boats I realize. I am much more concerned over the Pacific Gyre. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/great-pacific-garbage-patch/My Own Confession: As a restaurant owner in the USVI in the 70's I used to have fresh seafood shipped down from New England on Thurs. -- often sailing after closing Sun. night + Monday. We took the Cherrystones and Cotuit Oysters onboard to eat - and threw the shells overboard. One morning a crowd of snorkelers were around us diving down and calling " all the shells are over here!" We thought maybe the Tourism board would hire us to eat the seafood and spread the shells for the stateside tourists?
