Pacific Yachting Magazine's Boating Report Card Program Pacific Yachting has launched an environmental initiative and has given CPS Calgary permission to publish the information. This program serves the boating community and addresses a very important issue to boaters today. Click here to learn more about the program and download the forms. In an effort to help maintain coastal British Columbia’s rich marine ecosystem, Pacific Yachting invites recreational boaters to participate in an exciting new project. Each year, tens of thousands of pleasure craft cruise the waters between Juan de Fuca Strait and Dixon Entrance. As a group, recreational boaters anchor, moor or transit most of B.C.’s 27,000 kilometres of coastline, making them an ideal resource for information on the health of the region. As such, boaters are uniquely qualified to witness first hand—and over a huge geographical area—the condition of and changes to our marine ecosystem. Seeing the potential of this group to collect data, Pacific Yachting is spearheading the project entitled The Recreational Boater’s Environmental Report Card, eliciting the participation of a broad swath of recreational boaters and presenting the information and findings to the public at large.
