@shanahstone.bsky.socialThese so called “luxury” #CruiseShips don’t need NYT free advertising. How about instead of holding them up as aspirational you explain the damage they cause, the air and water pollution, damaging animal’s ability to communicate, and just outright killing whales? How about that?

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.social“What this notification system does is — with the data we have and with the resources we have — we're going to make sure that residents can take the precautions that they need."
Councilor @wespelletier.bsky.social said the system will help balance tourism & safety.

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialWe did it!
Portland is the first port in the country (that we are aware of) that has a proactive notification system for letting people know when a cruise ship arrives with an infectious disease outbreak.
It happened because of the leadership of @wespelletier.bsky.social

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialWe took a look at the 2027 cruise schedule. There will be 26 days with two cruise ships in port.
The amount of air & water pollution will be disgusting.
Cruise ships are a public health menace.

@portcruisecontrol.bsky.socialIs Bar Harbor done as a cruise ship destination?
If pollution gathers steam as an issue, cruise lines will have a bigger headache in Maine than just the 1,000-passenger limit in Bar Harbor.
