Hello, Chinoteague High School.

At field camps, urine is suppose to be collected in Nalgene bottles 
and disposed of either into the station's sewer system or if the sea 
is more convenient, directly into the sea.  

We are directed to leave no human waste on land.  I am only familiar 
with the Peninsula side of the US Antarctic Program, but I do believe 
that this is the policy on the Continent as well.

Cheers,
