Boating Businesses
The UK
recreational boating sector is growing steadily year by year; that
means busier waterways and more pressure on coastal habitats. It is
in everyone’s interest to protect the natural environment that
supports our industry and ensure that the growth of the sector is
sustainable, in other words making sure that meeting the needs of
the present does not compromise the needs of future
generations.
Some
major new pieces of legislation have recently come into force which
affect the recreational boating sector (for example, the Marine and
Coastal Access Act and the Water FrameWork Directive). To
minimise the impacts of these, and other pieces of legislation, it
is important for the recreational boating sector to demonstrate
that it is taking its environmental responsibilities seriously.
The
Green Blue is here to support sustainable development by
demonstrating best practice and encouraging the design and
production of innovative, environmentally benign products,
facilities and processes within the recreational boating
industry.
We have
also developed the Marine Toolkit, our
online self assessment tool which is based on BMF’s
Environmental Code of Practice. As a result of completing
the toolkit, businesses can find out how to save money, improve
environmental performance and enhance their green credentials,
creating the platform for them to design their very own
environmental management system
(EMS)
