The Pompano Beach, FL and Hollywood Beach, FL "Poop Pipe" dumps out MINIMALLY treated toilet water into the Atlantic Ocean about a mile from the beach. 25 MILLION GALLONS OF MINIMALLY TREATED SEWAGE ARE DUMPED OFF A FLORIDA BEACH everyday.

Aren't there laws prohibiting this discharge of sewage into the sea? Cruise ships are fined for doing similar dumps.

They do that in Japan. Don’t think they even care to pump it out a mile. I know my ship discharged straight into the water quay side unlike back in the states.

Used to live there and swam in that water a lot. I'm very happy I was unaware of them doing that. But hey, never got pink eye. Must mean the poop was mostly killed off by the salt water.... Yup, that's it... keep thinking that...
