Topic: Navigating Clean Marina Certification
Description: Clean Marina certification has become a nationally recognized mark of environmental leadership for marinas, boatyards, and port facilities. Through voluntary adoption of Best Management Practices — covering stormwater runoff, petroleum control, sewage handling, waste management, aquatic invasive species, and more — certified marinas demonstrate a measurable commitment to protecting the waterways their businesses depend on. While program specifics vary by state, they share a common framework rooted in environmental stewardship and continuous improvement. This session will walk attendees through what Clean Marina certification looks like and the practical steps any marina can take to begin the certification journey, from initial self-assessment and staff training to maintaining certification over time.
Speaker: Eric Kretsch, AMI
