Our Humble Beginning...

Founded in 1995 by Captain Donnie Brown, PumpOut USA was quite literally a direct response to growing concerns over the environmental and ecological impacts of marine sewage.

As observed in the photographs from this June, 1995 newspaper article, our early pumpout boats were “forced” and clunky – note our use of suspended-fender rub rails which routinely fail in service.

Fortunately, we learned from these early mistakes…

Why this matters to OUR collective future…

The world’s marine sewage problem is only growing worse…

“So many problems in marine conservation are so big that people can’t figure out how to possibly solve them — the systems are so complex, the contributing factors are diverse.”

“I would argue that the problem of untreated sewage literally has a shut-off valve and is something worth exploring as a focal strategy in our coral reef conservation.”

Stephanie Wear – lead scientist at The Nature Conservancy

Unfortunate Facts About Marine Sewage

• A single overboard discharge of human waste can be detected in up to a one square mile area of shallow water such as a bay.

• Releasing untreated sewage from a 20-gallon holding tank has the same impact as discharging several thousand gallons of treated sewage from an efficiently operated treatment plant.

• Marine sewage is approximately 12 times more concentrated than untreated municipal sewage and approximately 188 times more concentrated than treated municipal sewage (measured in B.O.D.).

• Chemical additives (used to deodorize vessel holding tanks) compound the problem. Such additives include; formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, quaternary ammonium chloride, and zinc sulfate – all of which are catastrophic to marine environments.

• Marine sewage effluent has been linked to outbreaks of vibrio vulnificus (flesh-eating bacteria).

• Marine sewage effluent has been directly linked to an increase in the frequency and magnitude of harmful algal blooms such as red tide.

The Conclusion: Illegal discharge of marine sewage is approximately 25 times more harmful to coastal aquatic environments than all municipal sewage spills combined!
