Rules of good behaviour

At the port

Being a Fisherman or a yachtsman, have an appropriate behaviour in the marina.

• Place your toxic solid and liquid wastes at the dump site and use the port sanitary.
• Empty your dirty water reservoirs into the pumping stations and use eco-aware cleaning products.
• Ensure that any maintenance operation (boat, equipment) is done in respect to  the environment.
• Handle all liquids that may pollute when being decanted with care.
  
   

On the sea

 
The sea covers 70% of the  surface of the Earth. It is vast and constitutes a place where hundreds of thousands of animals and plants live. 

• Submarine species are fragile. You can observe them, but avoid touching them and disturbing them. 
• A respectful fisherman is someone who fishes with moderation and who throws back  the fish which have not reached their adult size to the sea.
• If you are a yachtsman, first get some information about the nature of the bottom before making port and prefer the use of mooring buoys.
• Any nautic sports activity can be fatal to the environment. Contact specialists to find out the proper behaviour to have on a natural site.
