Would you like to receive periodic updates about green boating? Your email will not be shared with anyone, and we will not email you unless you give us permission to do so! Yes, please! No, thank you!
I have reviewed the Green Boater guide at sanjuans.org/greenboating, OR have received a training directly from Friends of the San Juans. * Roger that!
I pledge to Give Them Space and Be Whale Wise! I will keep 1,000 yards away from the endangered Southern Resident killer whales. I will help keep whales, my boat, and the humans aboard safe by following all Be Whale Wise guidelines. * Roger that!
I pledge to anchor out of eelgrass to protect critical habitat for crab, salmon, and many other species that depend on it. I will anchor in water deeper than 25 feet at low tide. * Roger that!
I pledge to keep my boat in good working condition and clean up even the smallest of oil spills. No matter how small the spill, I will call 1-800-OILS-911 if I spill oil or fuel at the dock, and/or if I see a sheen of oil on the water. * Roger that!
I pledge to report injured, stranded, or entangled marine mammals by calling The Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 1-800-562-8832. * Roger that!
I pledge to Pump Out and won’t Dump Out! I will use the nearest PumpOut station and keep our waters clean. * Roger that!
