What is a Clean Marina?
Marinas with Clean Marina status have proven that they operate with the environment top of mind.

Protecting our coastal and inland marine areas for future generations.
Clean Marinas work to minimse their impact on the local environment by paying particular attention to pollution control measures. This includes:
-
Active discharge control measures
-
Enforcing no-discharge policies
-
Supporting community initiatives
-
Regular monitoring and reporting of water quality
-
Informing and educating boat owners
-
Ready to respond to spills or environmental threats
-
Regular independent assessments
-
Making good decisions every day
