The thread about tank capacity reminded me that there are new Canadian regs which actually were enacted several years ago but come into effect this May. Raw sewage can no longer be dumped within 3 miles of a BC coastline and treated sewage must be over a mile from the coast.

Regulations for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships and for Dangerous Chemicals
And here's a link to Gabriola Sounder's short summary:
