1:24 – Buying local
1:58 – Leaving no trace on small islands
2:43 – Keeping an eye out for wildlife
3:27 – Anchoring in areas with seagrass
5:07 – Beach clean-ups
5:31 – Sailing rather than motoring
5:55 – Preventing pollution using holding tanks
7:09 – Protecting ecosystems such as the Lefkas Channel
7:47 – Preventing pollution by showering ashore
8:12 – Buying local
8:33 – Eating sustainable seafood

The video was produced by Sustainable Sailing Greece, with support from the Ionian Environment Foundation, as part of our work to encourage more responsible and sustainable practices across the Ionian.

Thank you to Ionian Sail Guide for hosting the filming, and to Sunsail for providing a boat for the production.
