Carnival Chairman Micky Arison said at a hearing Wednesday that senior management is totally committed to fixing its environmental problems.

Seitz says she wants to see more concrete ways to measure exactly what the Miami-based company is doing.

Carnival is on probation from a 2016 criminal case involving environmental violations for which it paid a $40 million fine.

Last year, Carnival violated that probation and paid another $20 million penalty.
