The Green Blue Speaks at Inland Marina Managers
Forum
For the first time, The Green Blue
joined the TYHA Inland Marinas Managers Forum held at ABC Leisure
Group’s Alvechurch Marina in Worcestershire on Wednesday
14th September.
Over 50 inland marinas were
represented by Inland Marina Managers from across the UK.
High on the agenda were a range of burning issues currently
facing the sector (continuous cruising, congestion and water
shortages to name a few) as well as a welcome opportunity to
exchange ideas and network.
Dan Reading, The Green Blue’s
Sustainability Officer spoke about benefits of the Marine Toolkit
and ways to adopt environmental best practice and in turn cut costs
through simple steps such as waste management and monitoring energy
usage.
Jane Swan, Project Manager
commented “The forum has given us a real insight into the key
issues affecting the Inland Marina sector and the main concerns of
its stakeholders. This knowledge will allow us to make the right
approach at the right time to encourage inland marinas to use the
marine toolkit and go on to make environmental improvements.”
Derek Newton, Managing Director of
British Waterways Marinas Ltd supported this approach and commented
“The Green Blue recently carried out an environmental audit at
Sawley Marina and I would recommend it to everybody - it was free,
educational and was a real money saver.”.
