Marathon, FL USA

Yet another failure of "No Discharge Zone" legislation.  In the Florida Keys it is illegal for a boat to treat their waste and discharge via a USCG approved Marine Sanitation System (Type I or Type II).  So what is one forced to do; pump it out at a marina where it goes to a government facility and then they can discharge it raw into the surrounding waters.  I guess poop from government doesn't stink?
