Marine Businesses
Helping marine businesses reduce their impact on coastal and inland waters and promote good practice to their customers.
The UK recreational boating sector is growing steadily year by year; that means busier waterways and more pressure on coastal habitats.
It is in everyone’s interest to protect the natural environment that supports our industry and ensure that the growth of the sector is sustainable, in other words making sure that meeting the needs of the present does not compromise the needs of future generations.
