Green Sail has been operating for a number of years in the sustainability sphere, working diligently to shift people’s behaviour and attitudes around sustainability, particularly in the nautical tourism sector.

The organisation has switched to online learning; its on-site training has, unfortunately, had to be paused due to the coronavirus pandemic.
