Hi Ron,
Yes, plastic is verboten to dump anywhere. If you're 25 nm offshore, you can
legally dump metal and paper. I try pretty hard to collect that sort of stuff
en route and find a way to recycle it in port somewhere. It's a bit more work
to flatten stuff, find space for it on board, etc., but I just feel a lot
better doing that than pitching it into the sea. There are limits to what one
can do, of course, but reducing the amount of single-use packaging one takes
on board in the first place also helps. Organic stuff, including human waste,
is good for the deep six -- it'll feed some critter somewhere in the food
chain.
Not trying to grind an ax, just passing along my personal point of view.
Cheers,
