Updated Environmental Code of Practice
The latest version of the Environmental Code of Practice (ECoP) has received a face lift! The ECoP is now completely web based and has it's own dedicated address at www.ecop.org.uk
The Code, originally the first initiative under the Green Blue project, is produced in partnership with the BMF, RYA and Environment Agency and was re-launched at this months Southampton Boat Show.
The latest code builds upon the excellent advice and best practice from the previous version, launched at the 2005 London Boat Show and reflects all the changes in UK environmental legislation made since then.
The Code itself is broken down in sub sections including Legal Aspects, Practical Advice, Incident Management and Useful Contacts. In each of these sections, you can download the Code as a .pdf document. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the code and links are provided to retrieve this application.
