Clubs and Training Centres
With over 170,000 RYA
practical training courses
being taken every year, it is fair to say that participation in
watersports is as popular as ever. Whilst we actively want to
encourage more and more people to enjoy the pleasures of being out
on the water, the sheer number of participants does put pressure on
the marine environment. And we may find that recreational boating
activity could be more actively managed if it is found to be having
an adverse effect on the environment and wildlife.
However there is plenty
that clubs and training centres can do to reduce their impact and
together we can help to educate members and students to be
sensitive to and respectful of our waters, both coastal and inland.
Clubs and training centres play an especially important role in
educating the new boater as lessons learnt during their first RYA
course are likely to become good habits throughout their boating
life.
By working together and
taking the voluntary approach we can enhance water sports
enjoyment, avoid red tape and build a more sustainable sector.
The Green Blue has lots of
practical advice, leaflets and teaching resources to help you make
environmental improvements, enhance your green credentials and even
save money – always appealing to members and Centre Managers!
