BREAKING: #COVID19 cruise restrictions prevent over 30 billion litres of pollution dumping into Canada's Pacific Ocean waters. Read the press release: stand.earth/latest/protect… And follow along on the press conference with @standearth @WWFCanada: facebook.com/standearth/vid… #cdnpoli
"This report exposes the staggering amount of water pollution cruise ship traffic releases into B.C. coastal waters in non-pandemic years. It begs the question: How can we build back better in the future to confidently welcome back cruise ships?" -Anna Barford of @standearth
"If the 2020 cruise season had gone ahead, the habitat of endangered #SRKW & threatened #NRKW would have had to deal w 220M litres of sewage, 1.8B litres of greywater, and a dominating 31B litres of scrubber washwater off the coast of B.C." -Anna Barford @standearth #bcpoli

#Cruiseships are one of the largest sources of #coronavirus infections in Australia. In NSW 20% of all confirmed cases have come from cruise ships. There are still 8 ships in NSW waters containing nearly 9,000 people. They have been ordered to leave but refused. #abc730
"They have certainly given us an indication
that if the health outcome is a positive one they'll feel confident heading back to their port of origin." @nswpolice Commissioner Mick Fuller. #abc730 #coronavirus #cruiseships
"If there's lots of sick people, we're going to have to deal with that in a humane way and we're prepared to do that. If the ship is safe to sail, then it's been my opinion from the start of this, then you should sail." @nswpolice Commissioner Mick Fuller. #abc730 #coronavirus

#Coronavirus and #cruiseships are a massive problem for authorities. There are currently two cruise ships off the WA coast with 2,700 passengers. And 3,000 are Australians stranded on 25 cruise ships around the world, with nowhere to dock. #abc730 @jason_om #covid19australia
Retired teachers Julie Turnbull and Maria Manera are among 1,500 passengers and crew on board the Costa Victoria, and the ship is headed for Italy where nearly 7,000 people have died. #abc730 #coronavirus #COVID19Aus #cruiseships
Passengers are now largely isolated to their cabins after the ship’s first case of #coronavirus was diagnosed this week. #abc730 #COVID19Aus #cruiseships

BREAKING: @CarnivalPLC made a bombshell claim in today's @tradewindsnews that it has stopped burning #HeavyFuelOil and only uses cleaner fuel on #cruiseships in the #Arctic. Read our response: stand.earth/latest/protect… #HFOFreeArctic #CleanUpCarnival @CleanArctic
"If true, today’s announcement makes Carnival Corporation the first major cruise company to pledge this kind of commitment to protecting the Arctic." -@KendraUlrich, Stand.earth
"In the interest of transparency, Carnival should release its fuel logs to show the world it has been, and will continue to be, a leader in getting heavy fuel oil out of this fragile Arctic ecosystem." -@KendraUlrich, Stand.earth
