Bahamas sanitation
None of the cruising guides I bought for my upcoming trip to the Bahamas
tell me anything about whether I can use my macerator there. Of course I'm not going to use it in anchorages or populated areas but are there any regulations about this? |

None. You can dump directly overboard. As a matter of fact you
will be hard pressed to find a pumpout. As you correctly surmise, dumping in an anchorage is bad manners. Many of the anchorages are pretty open so things get swept away quickly. More enclosed anchorages like Marsh Harbor, Hopetown, etc are pretty much open sewers anyway just due to the town waste in addition to the many anchored boats.

The only place I saw anything said about discharge was Highbourne Cay marina basin where any discharge was forbidden. They also had no pumpout and no shore toilets. grandma Rosalie |
