CRM Accreditation
AMI’s Clean and Resilient Marina accreditation program was launched to provide a way for marinas in states without Clean Marina programs or those looking for added national recognition of their clean practices, to gain accreditation.
The program works in tandem with AMI’s Clean and Resilient Marina Professional course. Becoming a CRMP is the first step in completing the CRM accreditation.
Being an accredited clean & resilient marina lets your customers, staff, peers, and even regulators know that you run an eco-friendly and sustainable operation and are a true steward of the environment.
There are some real benefits of being a clean marina
- Boaters are attracted to marinas that practice good environmental stewardship and may be willing to pay more to keep their boat at a certified clean marina.
- The federal Boating Infrastructure Grant Program gives those applying for funding points for being a certified clean marina.
- Some insurance companies have been known to offer a reduced rate on environmental liability coverage for clean marinas.
- Often, potential marina buyers are more likely to consider a certified clean marina.
- Some states offer clean marinas discounts on submerged land leases.
