" Is dumping black water not illegal in your neck of the woods?"


No, Johnny...dumping black water isn't illegal on salt water here.

No?


Federal Laws

Transport Canada (TC) is responsible for commercial navigation, harbours
and ports, ship safety and pilotage, crown corporations, and the Canada
Shipping Act, 2001. The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) (moved 1996 to the
Fisheries and Oceans, back to Transport Canada in 2004) has
responsibility for pleasure craft, search and rescue, receiver of
wrecks, and pollution preparedness and response.

May 2007: The federal government's new regulations prohibit dumping of
sewage, garbage or oily bilge water, and all boats with a toilet will
require an approved sewage sanitation device or holding tank. Older
ships that only travel in Canada have five years to comply.

Whoops. Looks like Canada *does* have some anti-dumping laws.

Y'all are amusing Johnny. I already told you we were talking recreational boaters in coastal waters.... not commercial vessels etc.

So you're saying it's legal for recreational boaters to dump sewage in coastal waters
in Canada?
