MARINA INDUSTRY • EURO-REPORT • DECEMBER 2019
As regards lowering the water, marinas can and many are trying to do their part in reducing global warming by becoming more energy- efficient and environmentally- conscious, incorporating green approaches wherever possible, including recycling and giving due consideration to what materials they are purchasing. A good example comes to mind. A marina was embarking on a project to refurbish its pontoons and facilities. The facility abandoned its strong desire to use Ipe, Mahogany or other rainforest woods and even decided against Oak or Southern Yellow Pine, and decided to go with a composite material. It believes this choice to be more environmentally-responsible and it resulted in significant cost savings. The composite is also understood to have a longer life, as well as require less maintenance. For lighting, the marina adopted motion detectors for much of its outdoor lighting, restrooms, laundry rooms, hallways, storage areas, as well as work sheds and part of its offices. It switched to more environmentally-friendly paints for buildings, switched to LED lighting and even installed solar panels. In addition, it continues to enhance a recycling program for
newspapers, bottles, plastics and papers, as well as used oils and batteries. It has also set up ‘swap’ recycle days where customers can swap, sell or just give away unused equipment to other customers. The recreational boating industry
