Water Quality

Discharges from ships  into our waterways have the potential to negatively impact the marine environment by degrading water quality through the release of oil residues, untreated sewage and graywater, deck runoff, aquatic nuisance species (ANS) from ballast water and hull fouling, and other wastes generated through the operation of ships.

Air Quality

Air pollution results in substantial economic, environmental, and human health costs. Mobile sources such as vessels and equipment at ports add to criteria pollutant and other emissions that have the potential to affect not just coastal and port communities, but also populations hundreds of miles away.
