Tell the Canadian government to stop ship waste dumping

Send a message to protect orcas

Public health, especially in port communities, is being threatened by the dumping of hazardous fossil fuel washwater in Canadian oceans.

This pollution is happening because of a sneaky device called a ‘scrubber,’ which ships use to wash the pollutants from their exhaust plume. This creates toxic fossil fuel washwater that can be up to 125,000 times more acidic than the surface of the ocean, and is highly carcinogenic. Where does this washwater go next? Into the ocean of course!

Cruises have already returned to Canada, jumpstarting the billions of litres of toxic washwater from scrubbers that's dumped in the ocean every year.

Will you email the Canadian government now to call for urgent action on ship waste dumping?

Your message will be sent to the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, the Minister of Transport, and the Minister of Environment of Climate Change.
