Since 2008, the scope and extent of U.S. environmental regulation of the maritime industry has changed and expanded substantially.  Air, water, and waste concerns have resulted in substantial new regulatory requirements and continued reassessment of those requirements by the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
