The 'C'-word is a feature at the second session of the Balearic Superyacht Forum. Collaboration between regulators and operators has already delivered great results with respect to Posidonia Seagrass. Where else can we hope see this kind of benefit?

Congratulations to @yarenetworking for once again putting on one of the best conferences in the Yachting calendar (IMHO).

Giovanna Vitelli of @azimutbenetti tells delegates at @SuperyachtForum that focus on impact is shifting to include construction footprint of yachts. Rose Damen of @damen underscores the importance of this, especially in waste management.

All being debated today...
