No floating retention barriers,issues with the water depth and maintaining it, at what cost for the city?Transportation to and from to support the infrastructure remains unanswered unless its across the river,Im sure they be happy about that.expain how you turn around a 500 plus ship in the channel without a turning basin?Jaxport does not address the emmissions from the cruise ships nor do they address the kids and elders who suffer breathing problems from emissions in the air from the bunker C fuel (which is the dirtiest fuel you can burn)cargo ships burn.I dont guess they have to wipe off the black soot off their car windows every few hours so the ships can idle in port. just image what goes into your lungs daily.Is it really worth it? wheres the save our beaches and the american lung association im sure they will agree. |

Jacksonville doesn't need sewage from cruise ships dumped in our back yards nor do we need them to polute the air we breath, In a good faith effort now the City should not give jaxport authority to build cruise terminal in mayport since jaxport has falsified its records to misused tax dollars and the public trust to allow shrimpers to remain in mayport.
Jaxport maintains its secrecy to undermine the publics confidence with preserving the historial fishing village and has danced around enviromental regulations duping the corp of engineerings in granting what ever permits are necessary.
