The Green Blue is an initiative of the British Marine Federation and Royal Yachting Association. It's an environment programme working with boat users, sailing clubs, training centres and marine businesses to raise awareness of the impact of recreational boating on our coastal and inland waters.
At the Boat Show this year you can see sailing legends Dee Caffari and Mike Golding present prizes to the winners of the photography competition. The competition encourages sailors to capture moments that represent boating and the environment under three categories, The Good, The Bad and The Funny.
Those in the boating businesses can learn about making cost savings whilst improving their environmental performance at the Marine Toolkit workshops.
