Tread lightly
The marine environment is beautiful, yet fragile. We aim to help our members minimise their impact by understanding nature and cruising sustainably.
One example is the orca project in which the CA has collaborated with Spanish and Portuguese scientists to understand and advise members on the behaviour of orca in the Biscay area.
Other initiatives include our project on end of life boats and our involvement with marine conservation zones.
