Version 1 of the Environmental Crew Guidelines has been released by Water Revolution Foundation. Written for and by crew, the guide highlights best practices, offering information and inspiration for more eco-friendly behaviour onboard yachts.
Aimed at achieving a substantial accumulated reduction in the environmental impact of the 5,500 30m+ fleet, this is a collaborative effort between Water Revolution Foundation, initiator MB92, and creator Danella Hopkins (formerly of S/Y Black Pearl). This free and open-source tool offers 24 distinct sections, providing crews with a detailed, holistic overview of how to adopt more conscious and sustainable practices into their daily routines.
Contributions from industry experts and crew members have ensured that a diverse range of perspectives and experiences are included. As a first version, the aim is to collect feedback and additional best practices from crew to expand on the content and launch a Version 2 in the future.
