Good Practice Guide for Cruising

Watch out for wildlife

• Do not disturb roosting or nesting birds or damage plants and their habitats – Between Mid April and the end of June birds are breeding. If birds are disturbed during this time then they can abandon eggs or chicks
• Keep back and stay slow around dolphins and seals

Avoid anchoring, dragging and boat wash in eelgrass / seagrass sensitive areas 

• These areas can be found on the iCoast map. Click here to find out more about seagrass and boating
• Look at the restricted areas in iCoast for information on restricted and sensitive areas

Be Kind

• Bring home all your rubbish
• Become a Green Blue boat – following the Green Blue code
• Share the water – Keep your distance from other boats and get skilled up in seamanship, navigation and the Rules of the Road – Click here for the RYA safe boating guide and Click here for Distress Signals and Prevention of Collisions Regulations
