Our members' livelihood depends on a healthy natural environment on land and at sea therefore wherever possible they strive to reduce their carbon footprint. The use of water makers (no more plastic water bottles), solar panels and biodegradable cleaning products are just a few examples of how our members are "going green".
Our Local Environmental Partners include:
