Harba joins seven other sailing and marine organisations to help support and promote the Cleaner Marina initiative, including boatfolk, savvy navvy, Ecoworks marine, Clean Sailorsthe Ocean Cruising Club, The SeaCleaners founded by Franco-Swiss sailor Yvan Bourgnon and Finsulate, in the first cross-industry partnership to support marinas as guardians of cleaner waters around the world.

Initiated by Clean Sailors, the aim of the Cleaner Marina movement is to inspire, encourage and create a community of marinas around the world who are implementing practices that help to safeguard the health of our waters.

Cleaner Marina and partners will champion inspiring activity of marinas around the world and encourage others in the same.
