The Green Blue 

The Green Blue is the joint environment programme created by the Royal Yachting Association and the British Marine Federation for anyone who enjoys getting out on the water or whose livelihood depends on it. We help boat users, boating businesses, sailing clubs and training centres to reduce their impact on coastal and inland waters.

The Green Blue offers practical advice, help, guidance and even money saving tips for anyone who wishes to help keep our coasts and inland waters the pleasant places that we so enjoy.

The Green Blue focuses on three key areas by helping the sector:

• To minimise incidences of harmful discharges to the environment e.g. oil, fuel, antifoul, invasive non-native species (INNS)
• To help reduce the levels of environmental disturbance e.g. noise, wash
• To enable and encourage sustainable choices e.g. waste and recycling, water, energy and fuel efficiency

The Green Blue also supports clubs and training centres by helping them to get to grips with environmental legislation and undertaking confidential site visits to spot ways in which they can improve their day to day operations.
