The document analyzes the environmental, economic, and social effects of cruise ships on Venice. It discusses the origins and growth of cruise shipping, and why investigating its impacts is important to preserving Venice. The project aims to measure particulate matter, hydrodynamic effects, and vibrations from ships, determine passenger spending, and analyze population increases. Preliminary findings show particulate increases when ships pass and altered water flows. Surveys found most passengers spend little time in Venice. The document recommends continued air quality testing and work with local organizations to further understand cruise impacts on Venice.
