Wastes Dumping

Why plane won't dump those biological wastes over high seas? Reduce the weight of the plane, save fuel, feed the fish with good stuff??

To my knowledge, the only thing that aircraft discharge in normal operations is sink waste, ie. the used water from hand washing. However, some cabin crew have also been known to jettison waste tea & coffee. Some aircraft can also dump their potable water as well. The dead otters, company paperwork and blue water can not be dumped but remain in board until the next ground service.
