How to....guide to inland boating
We now have an inland version of the How to Guide available.
The guide is aimed at all motorised craft on the inland waterways and Norfolk Broads such as narrowboats, motor cruising vessels, sports boats and even personal watercraft.
Show your support for The Green Blue by requesting a waterproof sticker of the code of conduct for your boat. Specifically designed for coastal boat users this is a great way to ensure that all your guests follow the same environmental best practices whilst onboard.
Coastal (English or Welsh) and inland versions are avialable, please state which you would prefer.
This recently updated comprehensive guide is essential for all BMF members and RYA affiliated clubs and training centres.
It outlines the legal framework and good practice advice to ensure compliance with relevant legislation and is now availailable online at www.ecop.org.uk
This self assessment toolkit takes you through the major environmental issues you face as a boat owner and gives you some advice about the next steps you can take to reduce your environmental impact while out on the water. It is available to download.

The RYA Planning and Environmental Handbook has just been produced to help RYA affiliated clubs and recognised training centres in running their facilities and when they embark on a building or development project of any sort.
The Handbook is divided into two main Sections. The first focuses on facilities development and sets out what permissions and consents you are likely to require when developing facilities and gives advice on how to go about applying for them. The second section of the Handbook looks at facility operation in terms of environmental management. It identifies the legal duties a facility has and provides suggestions for achieving legal compliance as well as providing good practice where important cost savings can also be made.
