Boating

Consider boating activities, such as canoeing, sailing, kayaking or windsurfing that require little or no fuel and don't disturb wildlife or habitat.
Never throw garbage of any kind overboard. Take it back to shore with you and dispose of it properly.
Avoid the temptation to top up your gas tank when refueling. Doing so often results in small toxic spills. Spillage is a major source of ozone pollution.
Use extreme caution not to pollute the environment when using cleansers, paints, and anti–fouling compounds on your boat. Use products that are less harmful to the environment. For example, non–toxic wax is an effective alternative to anti–fouling paint.
Have your on–board sewage holding tanks and toilet plumbing system inspected and approved by provincial environment officials. Make certain that you meet all local regulations for storage and discharge.
Pump out your holding tanks only at approved pump–out stations and marinas.
Always dispose of used oil in special oil recycling tanks available at most marinas and government docks.

Watch your wake, especially if you're within 150 metres of the shore. Waves cause shoreline erosion and can also disrupt wildlife habitat. Know the speed at which your vessel produces the smallest wake.
