Watch for more nasty cruise-ship garbage and effluent thrown overboard/over the side -- cruise lines are one of the biggest (if not the biggest) source of pollution in the Med! Completely unregulated as far as their waste goes, we see tons of it washing up in Puglia, particularly Adriatic side.

It's also the fuel & 'black' tanks that we also need to be aware of, not just waste.
