Overview
The recreational craft sector is an important contributor to the UK’s economy representing around £2.7 billion in revenue.

This report provides a clear roadmap for policymakers and industry leaders to steer the recreational craft sector towards decarbonisation, following a full lifecycle assessment perspective, in six key European markets: UK, France, Netherlands, Greece, Cyprus and Malta.
