THERE have been fears for marine life recently in New South Wales after a cruise liner dropped their anchor in Batemans Bay.

Some local environmentalists fear the ship, The World, could damage the fragile ecosystem of Batemans Marine Park, according to The Age.

It has always been a topical conversation when bringing up who is in the right and who isn’t.

There are many instances where tourism devices come in touch with harming the environment in all sorts of ways.

The luxurious cruise ship has met the marine standards according to the NSW government.

”This visit has been planned for more than a year and meets marine park regulations,” a department spokeswoman told The Age. ”The ship has world’s best-practice environment standards and we believe there are minimal environmental risks.”

However, some critics and environmentallists argued that  deep-hulled vessels posed a threat to the sea grasses in Batemans Bay and Jervis Bay.

‘The World’ is a world wide cruise ship that has a lot of wealthy passengers on board every year.
