Self-assessment checklist: managing environmental impacts in the marine recreation sector

Abstract

A Practical Guide To Good Practice: Managing Environmental Impacts In the Marine Recreation Sector has been developed to support this self assessment checklist. The practical guide is designed for marine recreation providers seeking to understand and adopt environmental good practices. For eight key topics associated with marine recreation, the guide offers a brief summary of the potential impacts, the rationale for good practice and suggestions on how to reduce these impacts. Recognizing that an extensive amount of information on environmental good practices for the marine recreation industry already exists, the guide also offers sources for further information at the end of the handbook.
