Carnival receives record $40m fine for ocean pollution
Princess Cruises has been given a record $40m fine after admitting seven charges of illegal ocean pollution, including the use of a “magic pipe” which diverted oily refuse into the sea between 2005 and 2013. One discharge resulted in 4,227 gallons of oil-contaminated waste entering waters off the English coast. Other illegal practices, including the use of clean water to cheat sensors, were also discovered. The line’s US parent company, Carnival, which is the world’s largest cruise ship operator, will also be required to submit 78 ships to an environmental compliance programme for five years.

To anti-hate researchers, it’s a well-connected extremist group that attacks inclusion in schools.
