Boaters have first-hand knowledge of how cleanliness and a few good manners can go a long way. Nothing is worse than returning to a favorite spot only to find it polluted and littered with trash. Here are a few tips to help: Pack up what you bring. Keep track of what you bring into the area and make sure to pack up the same amount when leaving. Even better, help the local environment by collecting any trash left behind by others. Carry a spill kit in case of an accident Avoid sensitive areas. Use designated boat ramps and stay within traffic areas. This helps reduce the impact on wildlife, erosion, and natural cycles of plants and animal life. Your boat policy may automatically include fuel spill and pollution liability, as well as salvage and wreck removal up to the value of the boat.
