How in the world is this legal? Its state waters?

Also, she was talking about how cruise liners do this with their trash, they 'jettyson' it underwater that way the people on the boat can't see the trash as it floats up. I realize a floating trash bag may hold a dolphin or tripletail out in the blue water, but it ain't doing much good on the beach!

Food waste is allowed to be passed through a disposal system, ground up and discharged. Trust me, cruise ships are NOT throwing regular "trash" out at sea!

OK, thanks for clarifying, I couldn't believe this!

Funny you mention salt bags, saw one on Elmer's and thought that a bag of salt was pretty ironic being in the GOM and saltwater and all surround in salt, I thought it was funny at least

Oil and gas is the most highly regulated business around though
