I know its not cool to vigorously disagree on this forum, but the above is either so wrong or trillions of defecating fish, mammals and marine organisms of some sort are under arrest!
Sorry Gary, I have disagree. If you read the whole paragraph it makes perfect sense.
"Instead of trying to rationalize contamination of any water source, whether it be salt or fresh with science or opinion, it makes far more sense to adapt a lifestyle of living softly on the planet and contributing to its enhancement. Composting makes that possible and is scientifically proven"
I agree that the fish etc.. are all doing it
BUT they are not storing the stuff up for days/months and then suddenly dumping large quantities (think cities, cruise ships and some yachts). I also agree that the average yacht in open tidal waters is much the same as the fish et al... but in confined waters with little tidal flow it is different.
However, I'm in full agreement with Roberts statement and try to live my life according to the same ideal. Over and above, if theres any doubt whats so ever and an alternative exists, its logical to use the alternative.
Just because one cannot see so much of the damage that we do to the sea and our waterways, does not mean that it's not happening.
