Environmental responsibility begins long before a vessel leaves the berth. Training can connect every routine task with its effect on the sea, the coast and other people who use the water.
Students should learn how to prevent waste, secure loose items and plan for responsible disposal. These habits are easier to keep when they are explained through realistic onboard examples.
Instructors set the standard through their own practice. Consistent behaviour in the classroom and on the water makes environmental care part of professional seamanship.
