v  Get rid on discharging oil on the bilge – maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the engine will keep it away from accidental oil spills. You also need to maintain the condition of seals, hoses, bearings, gaskets and other more parts of the boat (engine).

v  Changing the engine oil/fuel – in changing the fuel and or the oil of the engine, you need to use transferring pump to efficiently remove/replace the old engine oil/fuel. You can even use a spill proof kind of container in replacing or removing the used oil/fuel.

v  Utilize safe fuel practices – safely fueling your boat will greatly keep you away from inadvertent oils spills.

v  Do not use soap on the sheens - please get rid of using detergent and or soaps in disposing oil in the water. This will only cause the fuel/oil to remain at the middle (column) of the water and become a great hazard to underwater life.

v  Get Rid of In-Water maintenance and cleaning – if cleaning really requires you to place your boat in the water then you greatly need to use vacuum and tarps to collect debris, dust, and drips.

v  Be wise on choosing reduced-toxins and bottom paints – you should select only those formulations that use small amounts of active ingredients to prevent any sort of underwater and or marine damages.

v  Proper disposal of waste and hazardous materials – taking care of your boats can really mean a lot of damaging effects to the environment. Some of the most hazardous things that can greatly damage the environment are the lead acid batteries, used motor/engine oil, and as well as the spent oil filters.

v  Appropriately manage and plan sewage waste – discharging sewage within 3 miles from the shore is illegal. That is why you really need to discharge boat waste materials several miles away from the shore and even away from the ocean itself. You can just discharge the waste materials in the dry land and just burry it.

v  Keep all trash inside your boat – you should keep all waste materials while on the board and put it on proper containers. Keep all trash and other waste materials until the boat gets on the shore for proper and safe disposal.

v  Decrease gray water discharges – if cleaning calls to be very necessary while on the board then you need to use low phosphate free detergents and soaps to get rid of producing gray water on the ocean. You need to use shore based materials and facilities in washing dishes and even when showering/taking a bath.
