I am commenting in support of the petition due to the associated risks and negatives impact of ocean class cruise ships on the environment specifically regards air pollution, climate change, etc.  As a people, a country, a state, we work hard to maintain clean air, particularly around areas of heavy activity, cities, ports, bays, and estuaries. Large cruise ships, essentially small floating cities, add to the challenge of maintaining clean air due to the types of fuels they use, producing toxic products. The onboard technologies employed to control these toxic discharges are often not operated OR particularly not maintained, in the proper manner as to achieve the levels of performance that they advertise, thus releasing the undesirable toxins into the atmosphere. Accordingly I support and recommend approval of the petition.
