Visit the new Virginia Clean Marina website managed by the Virginia Sea Grant College Program and learn more about responsible boat and marina operation.
The Virginia Clean Marina Program managed by the Virginia Sea Grant College Program, part of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, has a new home on the web. This new website provides both marina operators and boaters with the most current and appropriate information available on operating marine facilities and vessels responsibility. Clean boating and control of marine debris are increasingly important concerns for boaters.
Links are provided to a number of regulatory and clean boating sites of interest to responsible operators.
Complete information is provided for marina operators interested in becoming certified as clean marinas under the Virginia program. The site does a good job of demonstrating the benefits of operating a clean marina and is a great resource for other states interested in adopting a similar program.
Marinas that participate in the Virginia Clean Marina Program are given recognition at the new website and users are provided with directions on how to locate a participating facility. Downloads are available to boaters on the best practices for dealing with sewage, petroleum, solid wastes, and vessel sewage.
Visit the Virginia Clean Marina Program site for further details.
