You Spoke, They Listened!

August 30, 2022 – Conversations are happening; change and destination stewardship have been prioritized! We're grateful for the ongoing dialogue and appreciate this positive step forward for our community!

The City and Borough of Juneau and members of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in a massive effort to help mitigate the impacts of the visitor industry on the community!

️The agreement is based on recommendations provided by the Visitor Industry Task Force and includes a list of solidified commitments on the intent to work together to address community goals. In this first MOA, the cruise lines have agreed to: minimize offloading ship waste and eliminate offloading bulky waste such as furniture, limit drinking water purchase from CBJ during drought conditions, and eliminate the use of large video screens while in port and when visible to neighbors, just to name a few! We are so pleased to see the collaboration between the City and Borough of Juneau and the CLIA cruise members.
