Show Notes
Carnival Corporation, the dominant Alaska cruise operator, has been accused of obstructing state regulators on water pollution data from their ship scrubbers, which discharge toxic waste into the ocean. Despite over seven hundred violations between 2023 and 2024, Carnival has denied inspectors access to compliance logs. The companys history of environmental offenses and fines has raised concerns about the impact on Alaskas marine life. The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation seeks onboard water samples and detailed logs, but Carnival argues that state law does not cover scrubber discharge. Negotiations are ongoing, but advocates call for stricter enforcement to protect Alaskas waters.
