Some boating activities can have a significant impact on water quality.
For example, the discharge of waste from boats may add nutrients and pollutants to our waterways and can pose a risk to ecosystems and human health. The discharge of oil, chemicals, sewage, garbage, litter or any other waste is prohibited in any waters in Victoria.
To report a waste or pollution incident, contact the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) on 1300 372 842 or visit epa.vic.gov.au
