Image accompanying "Environmental Impact"

The image next to the section on Environmental impact's title seems to suggest it is more about the seals than the ships in the background. Is the image necessary? Does it add to the section at all? It seems a bit insubstantial and does not actually convey any information. I don't think it adds anything to the article, and like I said, its actually an image of some seals. Does anyone else think it should stay?

I Bow Down Before the Gods of Wikipedia (IBDBTGOW)

Apparently, an external link to a consumer website about "cruise ship passenger rights" is A Heinous Violation of Divine Wikipedia Law (AHVODW). It is Damnable Link Spam from the Pits of Hell (DLSFTPOH). If God wanted cruise passengers to know their rights, He would speak through his One True Prophet on Earth and Internet (OTPOEAI), Wikipedia. However, a link to some lady's website about how much she LOOOOOOVES to cruise is Divinely Inspired and Immaculate Holy Writ (DIAIHW).

Mere mortal that I am, I cannot hope to understand such wisdom. I Now Wet Myself in Submissive Humility (INWMISH).

For the intellectually impaired and for Wikipedia meta-editors (but I repeat myself), I will now translate the above sarcasm into literal English using No Big Words (NBW): Have I seen the limits of your stupidity, or is there more? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.233.20 (talk) 17:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

The problem is not with the information, but the site. It appears to be an exact copy of the Coast Guard information page. The USGS site should be linked (done), not a commercial site which mirrors it. Regards, Kablammo (talk) 17:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Staffing

Would love more information on how the ships are run. My research has shown that most ships are staffed almost exclusively from Italy, India, China, Eastern Europe, with very few Americans. Since the ships are not under the protection of any one government (traveling through different waters) most of the crew members do not pay taxes on their wages. This is a great benefit to them and the Cruise companies... they pay them less as a result. American's are the only ones who must still pay income taxes regardless of where the boat starts out or ends up. These are massive moving countries if you will. They have the law of the ship. For example the doctors aboard are not subject to American standards of practice. They are within their rights to treat a patient one day and have sex with her the next.
