The International Seakeepers Society has compiled an excellent and very comprehensive resource for boaters who want to minimise their footprint on the oceans.
"Owning a boat comes with its own set of responsibilities and as a boater, you are in a unique position to be a leader in ocean conservation."
As distance sailors, we can all adopt good boating practices that protect the ocean and reduce our carbon footprint. Proper handling, responsible vessel maintenance, good refuelling, repair and storage habits, as well as responsible waste disposal and resource management, help to preserve clean water and protect the biodiversity while keeping you and your families safe.
