Did you find The Green Blue at the 2026 RYA Youth Nationals? We brought sustainability to the shoreline for you to come and get involved! Sailors took the Boating Pledge and chatted with the team about simple ways dinghy sailors can protect our waters, and recycle old kit. ♻️ 🤝 Sailors met local organisations like the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to explore marine specimens from Hayling Island. 🌿 Solent Seascape Project taught sailors how seagrass and habitat restoration is helping protect our waters 🦪 Harbour Oyster Project came with live oysters in action to show how they improve water quality 🏖️ Final Straw Foundation CIO joined us for a beach clean and water quality testing. #RYAYouthNationals #TheGreenBlue
