ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Sealegs encourages owners to respect others and the environment when using their Sealegs boat.
In many regions of the world there are also strictly enforced regulations regarding environmental
protection. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to be aware of applicable regulations
and to ensure compliance with them.
TREAD LIGHTLY
Sealegs is an official partner of Tread Lightly!
, a non-profit organization with a mission to
promote responsible outdoor recreation through ethics, education and stewardship. Some
principles include:
Travel Responsibly on land by staying on designated pathways, trails and areas. Go over, not
around, obstacles to avoid widening the trails. Cross streams only at designated fords. When
possible, avoid wet, muddy trails. On water, stay on designated waterways and launch your
watercraft in designated areas.
Respect the Rights of Others including private property owners, all recreational trail users,
campers and others so they can enjoy their recreational activities undisturbed. Leave gates as you
found them. Yield right of way to those passing you or going uphill. On water, respect anglers,
swimmers, skiers, boaters, divers and those on or near shore.
Educate Yourself prior to your trip by obtaining travel maps and regulations. Plan for your trip,
take recreation skills classes and know how to operate your equipment safely.
Avoid Sensitive Areas on land such as meadows, lakeshores, wetlands and streams. Stay on
designated routes. This protects wildlife habitats and sensitive soils from damage. Don’t disturb
historical, archaeological or paleontological sites. On water, avoid operating your watercraft in
shallow waters or near shorelines at high speeds.
Do Your Part by modelling appropriate behaviour, leaving the area better than you found it,
properly disposing of waste, minimizing the use of fire, avoiding the spread of invasive species
and repairing degraded areas.
