We don't have many holding tanks here. It's totally illegal to empty a
holding tank within 2(??) miles of the shore.

I don't follow - are you saying its illegal to dump a holding tank, but it
is
legal to direct discharge?

Yes! Although local bye-laws may(rarely) make direct discharge illegal.
It will depend on the area. If you are in a drying, fishing harbour, with a
12m tide, that flushes into the Atlantic twice a day, then having a pee
isn't going to cause a problem. However, if you are in a marina that has
lock gates, then things are completely different.
