New Project Coordinator appointed in Wales
The Green Blue has now appointed a Project Coordinator dedicated to delivering the project that has been so successful in England to Wales. Ruth Sharratt has taken on this role and will be based at the home of the Welsh Yachting Association (WYA) at Plas Menai. This itself is located in a fantastic position overlooking the Menai Strait which is a proposed Special Area of Conservation and demonstrates the important balance that must be met between recreational boating and the environment.
Sailing and boating is a popular and growing activity in Wales. With some of the most beautiful coast in the UK and a rich marine biodiversity it is important that our activities do not damage this area. Following The Green Blue messages will help ensure that growth in the recreational marine sector is sustainable and and does not compromise the wonderful coastline and wildlife which makes it so enjoyable.
To help spread these messages, Ruth will be visiting many clubs, marinas and marine businesses in Wales. You may wish to get in touch to let us know how your club or business has taken the initiative and made your activities more environmentally friendly or you may want help and information to go Green, or more Green. So if you have some good ideas,want to tell us what you are doing or want Ruth to come and talk to your WYA club, training centre or business about the Green Blue then contact The Green Blue in Wales.
