Clean Marina Program
As a pledging participant in the Clean Marina Program, marinas do their part to improve and maintain Michigan’s waterways by reducing and eliminating releases and discharges of harmful pollutants, sediments, nutrients, general refuse, and anything else that can damage aquatic environments. In order to receive official designation as a Clean Marina, participants need to complete a 10-step process, including training, a self-evaluation checklist, and a site visit and evaluation.
See: Clean Marina Program Brochure (PDF)
Benefits of becoming a designated Clean Marina include reducing pollution and improving water quality in the Great Lakes, protecting fish and wildlife habitat, enhancing public image by promoting environmentally-sound practices and saving money by adopting cost-effective best management practices. Designated marinas strive for continuous improvement in daily environmental stewardship practices.

The Clean Marina Program is targeted to commercial and public boating facilities and will be eventually extended to boaters and other related industries.
