PART 2 CRUISE

AIR & CLIMATE

Ships use fuel and can emit greenhouse gases and air pollutants.

WATER & WASTE

Poorly managed waste or wastewater can threaten coastal water quality.

WILDLIFE & HABITATS

Anchoring, noise, vessel movement and poorly planned development can disturb ecosystems.

LAND & RESOURCES

More demand for water, energy, roads and public spaces.

DESTINATION PRESSURE

High visitor numbers can strain fragile beaches, reefs and heritage areas

Litter on a busy shore

Provide bins, collection plans, clear passenger briefings and enforcement.

Pressure on sensitive reefs

Use approved mooring points, control access and brief tour operators.

Air emissions

Improve energy efficiency, use cleaner fuels/shore power where available, optimize routes and speed.

Too many visitors at once

Manage visitor flows, stagger tours and set limits based on site capacity.
