Responsible water usage is essential not only for the sustainability of our marina but also for the protection of human health and the environment. Always connect hoses to the service tower first and turn off taps when you&#8217;re done. Use jet diffusers to conserve, especially by using the marina showers and toilets to preserve your onboard supply. If you see a leak, let us know so we can act immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<h3>Save Energy<\/h3>\n<p>At Alimos Marina, we believe that every small effort counts when it comes to reducing energy. By adopting simple, everyday practices, we can significantly reduce our environmental impact, lower energy consumption, and create a more sustainable marina for everyone. Make the most of natural daylight and switch off lights when not in use.
