ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

FUEL AND OIL SPILLAGE
The spilling of fuel or oil into our
waterways
contaminates
the
environment and is dangerous to
wildlife. Never discharge or dispose of
fuel or oil into the water. It is dangerous
and unlawful. Two common types of
accidental discharge are overfilling the
fuel tank and pumping contaminated
bilge water into the sea.
EXPLOSION/FIRE/POLLUTION
HAZARD:
Fill fuel tank to less than rated capacity.
Overfill forces fuel out the tank vents,
which can cause explosion fire, or
environmental pollution. Also allow for
fuel expansion
DISCHARGE AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE
Waste means all forms of garbage,
plastics,
recyclables,
food
wood,
detergents, sewage, and even fish parts
in certain waters. We recommend that
you bring back everything you take out
with you for proper disposal ashore.
Your marine holding tank (if so
equipped) must, in many areas, be
pumped out by an approved pump-out
facility normally found at marinas.
EXHAUST EMISSIONS
Hydrocarbon exhaust emissions pollute
our water and air. Keep your engine
properly tuned to reduce emissions and
improve performance and economy.
ANTI-FOULING PAINTS
The use of anti-fouling paints is
common for boats kept in water. Be
aware of environmental regulations
that may govern your paint choice.
These regulations may affect which
paint may be used, and also the
application or removal. Contact your
local boating authorities for more
information
EXPLOSION/FIRE/HAZARD
:
Ventilate when painting or cleaning.
Ingredients may be flammable and/or
explosive.
CLEANING CHEMICALS
Cleaning chemicals should be used
sparingly and not discharged into
waterways. Never mix cleaners and
be sure to use plenty of ventilation in
enclosed areas. Do not use products
that contain phosphates, chlorine,
solvents,
non-biodegradable
or
petroleum-based products.
Common
households
cleaning
agents
may
cause
hazardous
reactions. Fumes can last for hours,
and chemical ingredients can attack
people,
property
and
the
environment.
