Pledge Statement
The Michigan Clean Marina Program promotes and celebrates voluntary adoption of measures (best management practices) to prevent and reduce pollution from marinas and the recreational boating community. Certified Clean Marina facilities are recognized as exemplary environmental stewards of the Great Lakes and inland waters.

Our marina pledges to:

• Become cooperative partners with the Michigan Clean Marina Program;
• Strive for continuous improvement in our daily environmental stewardship practices;
• Actively work to identify opportunities for practical or innovative practices that reduce and/or eliminate releases and discharges of harmful pollutants, sediments, the spread of invasive species, general refuse, and anything else that can damage aquatic environments at our facility and in adjacent waterways; and
• Educate our marina staff, contractors and boating constituents about pollution prevention guidelines and best management practices.

Environmental stewardship and training will address the following operational areas:

• Siting considerations
• Marina design and facility
• Stormwater management
• Boat maintenance and repair
• Petroleum control
• Sewage handling
• Waste containment and disposal
• Marina management
• Laws and regulations

We understand that in return for our commitment, and certification as a Michigan Clean Marina, we will be eligible to receive all related benefits and recognition through the Michigan Clean Marina Program.
