The ocean is a huge place that can & has accepted millions of tons of man's waste and handles it admirably. Remember the BP oil spill? What do you hear about it now? That's right! The ocean has cleaned it up and it is now a distant memory.

Yep, there's a lot we don't know about our oceans and their capacity for cleaning up after man.
With you all the way Walt.

I've thrown overboard all of my non-synthetic oil, my non-Rocna anchors and my second engine.
