Protect, Collect and Dispose
ANTIFOUL AWARENESS
SUPPORT OUR CAMPAIGN
To support the boating community the British Coatings Federation (BCF), The Green Blue (Royal Yachting Association), British Marine and The Yacht Harbour Association (TYHA) launched the ‘Protect, Collect & Dispose’ initiative and campaign in 2019 focusing on raising awareness of and providing environmental best practice when antifouling, building on the successful, award-winning DIY Safe Antifouling programme previously launched in 2017.
HOW TO SUPPORT OUR CAMPAIGN
When applying and removing antifoul paint there are simple steps we can all take to:
Protect the ground under our boats – use a tarpaulin and trip trays
Collect any drips, spills and debris
Dispose of all contaminated items and paint legally into hazardous waste bins
1. Find out more about antifoul options and environmental best practice.
2. Print and display our PCD Poster at your club, centre or marine business.
3. Request a batch of the PCD Leaflets to display and hand out.
4. Support our annual ‘Protect, Collect & Dispose’ campaign week (21-25 October 2024):
– Request a PCD Campaign Toolkit by emailing info@thegreenblue.org.uk.
