Good Mate Program
As part of the Southern Region Yachting Initiative, the
Ocean Conservancy's Good Mate Program encourages participants to more
fully understand and value the ecological and economic importance of our
water resources; recognize the environmental connections between the Earth’s
water and recreational boating; recognize potential environmental impacts
of oil and fuel, sewage, and learn associated pollution prevention measures
related to recreational boating and onshore operations; recognize potential
environmental and economic impacts of vessel maintenance and repair activities;
solid waste and debris; storm water runoff; vessel operations damage,
and learn associated pollution prevention measures.
