The Michigan Clean Marina Program is a cooperative effort of the Michigan Boating Industries Association and Michigan Sea Grant. Financial assistance for this project is provided, in part, by the Michigan Coastal Zone Management Program, Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, under the National Coastal Zone Management Program, through a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce.

The Michigan Clean Marina Program promotes environmentally sound marina and boating practices to reduce pollution, enhance fish and wildlife habitat and protect Great Lakes water quality. The program is open to all public and private marinas in Michigan. The Clean Marina Program is non-regulatory, marinas voluntarily pledge to maintain and improve Michigan’s waterways by reducing or eliminating releases of harmful substances and phasing out practices that can damage aquatic environments. To date, 98 marinas have been awarded certification. To find a Certified Clean Marina near you click here.
