Recreational boating has a direct influence on the quality of waterways and on the tranquility of natural environments .

 

Responsible practices help to limit bank erosion, reduce pollution and protect aquatic habitats.

Respecting speed limits and sensitive areas helps to reduce the impact of waves on the banks and to preserve riparian zones.

It is also important to avoid sudden maneuvers near the banks and in shallow areas in order to limit the resuspension of sediments.
