JOIN THE SUSTAINABLE BOATING COMMUNITY AINABILITY SUST RYA From narrowboat liveaboards to dinghy and yacht sailors, to personal watercraft owners and motor cruisers, The Green Blue Boating Pledge is a new way for all boat users to show their commitment to protecting and respecting the environment. The aim of the Pledge is to provide boat users with simple, practical guidelines which they can follow and hopefully inspire other boaters to join. There are fifteen Pledge points focussed on the strapline, ‘Respect, Protect, Enjoy.’ Each of the Pledge actions are equally important and have been selected as playing a positive role in the well-being of surrounding habitats and wildlife, these range from ‘Choosing your anchorage with care,’ to ‘Using eco-friendly products,’ and ‘Minimising your wash.’ By joining the Pledge, you will be helping to help raise awareness of important environmental issues, such as water pollution and wildlife disturbance. It’s completely free to join and in return you can opt-in to receive a Pledge Pack with a Pledge pin badge, handy environment best practice leaflets and a Pledge certificate.
