What
is the Clean Vessel Act?
Congress passed the Clean Vessel Act in 1992 (CVA) to help reduce
pollution from vessel discharges.
Why
should I worry about boat sewage?
No one wants to take a swim where they know there is raw sewage from
boats. No one wants to eat raw shellfish that could be contaminated.
We all hear a lot about pollution in our water, but what can we, as
individuals, do about pollution? Properly managing sewage on our boats
is something everyone can do right now to help improve local water quality.
