The Low Carbon Marina Initiative was launched at the Australian Marine Innovation Conference on the Gold Coast. Keynote speaker Senator The Hon Kim Carr, Australian Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research said, "Climate change is pressing to our marine industry. The Low Carbon Marina Initiative to be launched today is one example of how the marina industry is responding to this challenge."
The initiative is part of the Marina Industries Association of Australia (MIAA) vision to be a leader in marina environmental programs. The MIAA has set a goal of a 20% reduction in the operational carbon footprint of Australian marinas by 2015.
MIAA has partnered with the Carbon Reduction Institute to develop and manage the Low Carbon Marina Initiative. The initiative provides a simple certification system to enhance the sustainability of marinas and related businesses. It allows for participation at varying levels of carbon reduction. Participating businesses go through a three step process. Firstly there is an assessment of the carbon footprint; then development of strategies to reduce carbon emissions, and finally the offsetting of unavoidable carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits.
The Initiative provides marina and related operators with real cost savings and marketing benefits at a time of rapidly growing consumer awareness of the need to act on global warming.
As part of the development and lead up to the launch marinas, in Western Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland are already participating in the Carbon Marina Initiative. Superior Jetties are participating and MIAA expect over 40 businesses will be involved in the initiative within eight months.
