About Us
The Green Blue
- launched at the Southampton International Boat Show on
19th September 2005 - is an innovative
environmental awareness programme set up by the British Marine
Federation and the Royal Yachting Association.
Its mission is to promote the sustainable use of coastal
and inland waters by boating and watersports participants, as well
as the sustainable operation and development of the recreational
boating industry.
The Green Blue is for
everyone who enjoys getting out on the water or whose livelihood
depends on boats and watersports. By working towards an
environmentally self-regulating boating community we can save
money, avoid red tape and safeguard the waters and habitats we
enjoy and rely on for the future.
The Green
Blue's objective is to help boaters and boating
businesses to minimise their impact on the environment by:-
Raising awareness amongst industry and users
Reducing harmful discharges
Reducing environmental disturbance
Encouraging sustainable choices
A word from Mike Golding
