Level 4 ISO 14001 Clean Marinas Certification
Marinas across Australia and the Asia/Pacific region now have a new environmental standard and the CYCSA is one of the first of three marinas in Australia to achieve this level of certification. The Hon. Pat Conlon, SA Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure and Minister for Energy presented the Cruising Yacht Club of SA with this accreditation at the Club on Wednesday 28 July. Marinas with this accreditation are recognised for achieving the world standard for environmental management systems.
