Workshops

A series of three workshops for Marina operators will focus on practical, common-sense tips for controlling pollutants associated with recreational boating operation, maintenance and storage, as well as an overview of relevant environmental laws and regulations. 

Participating marina operators will have an opportunity to learn about proper management practices and environmental stewardship. These one-day workshops will include presentations, a guidebook and tip sheets.

Participating marinas will be rewarded for their voluntary stewardship through designation as a Michigan Clean Marina. Through this program, Marinas, recreational boaters, and the State of Michigan will help to preserve and enhance Michigan’s natural resources.

The Michigan Clean Marina Program is a public-private partnership between Michigan Sea Grant College Program, Michigan Boating Industries Association and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. The Program supports the management of profitable businesses, while protecting and enhancing the quality of Michigan's waterways.
