AMI’s twin clean programs aim to increase the environmental expertise and use of best management practices by marina personnel to protect the waterways and shorelines. The program begins with a 1 ½ day training taught by industry experts aimed at teaching marina staff rules, regulations, and best operational practices to ensure compliance with federal programs and to minimize the pollutants entering our waters.

Upon successful completion of the course, CRMPs are eligible to self-certify their marinas using a comprehensive checklist of mandatory and advised practices and submitting supporting evidence for the practices they undertake. AMI’s Clean and Resilient Marina committee reviews each application and determines whether or not a facility meets the qualifications to be accredited. Marinas maintain their standing for three years, after which time they need to resubmit their application materials and experience another review.

AMI has three CRMP training courses slated for 2024 in Florida, Maine, and Nevada and will continue to work with CRMPs to get their facilities certified. For more information visit Association of Marina Industries (AMI) (marinaassociation.org).
