The Green Blue
The Green Blue is the environmental awareness programme for the British Marine Federation (BMF) and the RYA. Their aim is to promote the sustainable use of coastal and inland waters by boating and watersports participants, and the sustainable operation and development of the recreational boating industry. The Green Blue hopes to educate and inform the recreational boating community about our environmental impacts, emphasizing how we can avoid or minimize these impacts by taking a few incremental steps. 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 for the future.
