Carnival Cruise Lines have been ordered to pay a $20 million fine after getting caught dumping waste into the ocean – again.

The company was fined $40 million in 2016 for dumping ‘oily waste’ into the ocean, then covering it up. Now they’ve been fined again for dumping plastic and food waste near the Bahamas.

Carnival CEO Arnold Donald said the company is guilty and plans to fix its “shortcomings”. The company could face additional fines of up to $1 million a day if changes are not made by September.
