And what, prey tell, oh expert in the feces, is the difference between
human feces and fish feces? Since both are the final result of a
basically identical process, the breaking down of organic compounds,
seems to be little if any difference. When you consider marine
mammals I would think the differences would be even less.

The difference is
1- fish excrement is going to be there anyway. Yours is an additional
load on the local ecosystem.

2- the intestinal flora of species are mostly unique.

3- the disease potential... for humans... of human waste is much higher.
For example, fish & whales don't carry cholera...

Is that light bulb starting to get a dim glow yet? I doubt it, most
people will strenuously resist letting facts displace their prejudices.
