Milford Haven is also a busy commercial port. Byelaws and zoning schemes exist which are applicable to recreational users. Details of these are shown in the Leisure Users Guide which is widely available at no charge around the Haven in the marinas, Yacht Clubs, chandleries and hostelries.

The Waterway attracts both experienced and novice users in every activity, all of whom will interact with each other and commercial vessels. It is important that all users have an understanding of the basic Rules of the Road applicable when on the water. It is also strongly recommended that users should complete a recognized training course before venturing out onto open waters.

As the Waterway and Pembrokeshire Coastline are important areas for wildlife groups involved in all forms of outdoor recreation have developed codes of conduct for activities to help minimise disturbance to our wildlife. All users of the waterway are encouraged to follow these codes. The links to the codes can be found on the activity pages. Information on other activities can be found at www.pembrokeshireoutdoorcharter.org.uk and www.pembrokeshiremarinecode.org.uk.
