The UK’s Marine Environmental Facilities Directory produced by The Green Blue (the joint environmental programme between British Marine and the Royal Yachting Association) is a new interactive map that displays clearly the marine environmental facilities such as black water pump out, and filtered/bunded boat washdown systems, available at marinas, boatyards and harbours around the UK. The responsive mapping tool is a result of The Green Blue’s Environmental Marine Facilities Survey that was carried out earlier this year.

Kate Fortnam, Campaign Manager for The Green Blue, said: “We hope that the resource will really aid boaters in making informed decisions with the facilities available. We’re looking forward to the Directory growing and expanding as technology develops and more organisations install environmental facilities. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the marine organisations that voluntarily participated in the survey and shared information about their environmental facilities with us.”

The map will provide a resource for recreational sailors looking for their nearest environmental facilities on both inland and coastal waters throughout the UK. Facilities listed on the Directory include recycling facilities; hazardous waste disposal; pump out stations; black water/Elsan disposal; water refill points and filtered/bunded boat wash-downs.
