The Environmental Code of Practice has been developed by the British Marine Federation (BMF) in partnership with the Royal Yachting Association (RYA). The code is aimed at providing the legal framework and good practice advice for BMF members and RYA affiliated clubs and training centres. The Environment Agency has been instrumental in providing support and advice on their statutory legislative requirements, and also in supporting good practice and advice to members. This code is based on the original BMF Environmental Code of Practice first published in 1997 and revised in both 2000 and 2005. It is the nature of the changing legislative requirements and increasing number of Directives from Europe that necessitate this further revision.

The Code is supported by a series of case studies, illustrating best practice.
