Summer is rapidly approaching...and for many Americans, that means beach season. But there is more to the beach season than sun, sand and fun. There is also danger and that danger can take many forms: melanoma, sharks, unsightly flab.
Now, thanks to the good folks at Charmin, a new survey shines a much needed light on yet another growing problem plaguing the beaches of this great land, though it is rarely discussed...perhaps because the implications are too traumatic. According to the Charmin Relief Project's "Don't Pee in the Sea" survey, two-thirds of beachgoers(62%) admit they urinate in the same waters where so many frolic.
And what's more, nearly half (48%) say they've done it more than once.
Shocking. Terrifying. And these numbers only reflect those brave enough to embrace the truth.
The question is "why?" Why do so many choose to relieve themselves in the ocean as opposed to making the journey across the scorching sands, over the sleeping homeless and into nearby beachfront lavatories?

The sea is already salty, so....
When I was in the Navy in the 70’s, you could flush the head and watch it go into the sea if you ran fast enough.
Please....we were making bubbles.

The fact that it is the toilet of all sorts of sea life is precisely why I don’t care to go to the ocean or lake
I don’t get to visit the beach very often, and I have never been to a beach that had bathroom facilities, much less changing rooms. I’m certainly not going to get in the car and try to find a restroom.
Besides, yes the fish do it too. Everybody knows you don’t swallow sea water and you shower as soon as you get home. Even those of us who live inland. Like Ohio. Duh.
So...It’s NOT “Global Warming” that’s raising sea levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

****The question is “why?” Why do so many choose to relieve themselves in the ocean as opposed to making the journey across the scorching sands, over the sleeping homeless and into nearby beachfront lavatories?
Because there aren’t any beachfront lavatories? ****
Correct answer is that the queers are in the beachfront lavatories. Because of their nasty behavior, the uninfected only go in those places with a full exposure suit on.
1. Figure 1 pint of pee per beach-goer.
2. Figure the astronomically low PPM of urine in millions (billions?) of gallons of beach water. Water which btw, is constantly in motion and recirculated.
3. Consider that urine inherently sterile.
So - what is the issue?
I only started to pee in the sea because when I peed on the sand people got real mad ... :))
Mankind has an ego problem that is out of control...believing we are big enough, (important enough) to make an impact on the sea or the weather. Poor math being taught these days.
The question is "why?"Take Virginia Beach as an example. There is one public restroom on the 60+ block long beach. It is better if you have a hotel room.
Most beach toilets dump into the ocean anyway.
That said, it is probably of nutritional value to some species of ocean creature (one man's trash is another man's treasure after all).
Peeing in the sea in not pee sea.
When I was fishing, our boat had a 6” wide cap rail on top of knee-high bulwarks. It was perfect for perching on the edge and dropping a few ‘depth charges’. Anyone who has ever used a marine toilet will appreciate that unless the weather is truly nasty, they are best avoided.
