ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
There are numerous vessels operating on our waterways on a daily basis.
Each boat has as impact on our environment. Boat operation habits,
marine sanitation, and maintenance all play a role in a delicate battle to
keep the ecosystem clean. Each of us has a role in doing our part as
environmentally conscious skippers to conserve our waterways.
The National Marine Manufacturer’s Association lists their top ten of
Eco-Boating Practices as follows:
1. Observe all regulatory agency policies regarding marine toilets.
2. If equipped with a holding tank, use marina pump-out facilities.
3. If used, make sure bottom paints are legal and ecosystem friendly.
4. Use only biodegradable cleaning agents.
5. Dispose of all garbage and liter on shore properly, not on the
water.
6. Don’t top off fuel tanks. Leave expansion room. Clean up spills.
7. Watch your wake and propeller wash.
8. Make sure your engines are well tuned and maintained.
9. Control your bilge water.
10. When
fi
shing, practice the “catch and release” principle.
Follow these basics practices when on the waterways. Treat the
environment in a way that you would like to be treated.
