Pelorus Mail Boat strives to lead by example for the good of our beautiful natural surroundings by following sustainable practices.
Caring For Our Environment
The Pelorus Mail Boat’s environmentally-friendly initiatives include:
- Keeping our fleet well serviced which helps minimise fuel consumption.
- Recycling wherever possible, limiting our use of plastic bags and using environmentally friendly cleaning products wherever practical in our boats.
- Participating in the Department of Conservation's “SMART” programme to promote responsible behaviour around dolphins, whales and seals. We proudly follow the Marine Mammals Protection Regulations 1992 which ensure the marine mammals of New Zealand are protected and that their conservation is a top priority.
