This program will implemented by UW Sea Grant Institute in 2009 and targeted initially to commercial and public boating facilities on the Great Lakes. This program may eventually be held statewide. The Wisconsin Clean Marina Program is designed to bring awareness to marine facilities and boaters regarding environmentally friendly practices intended to protect and preserve Wisconsin’s natural environment and may extend to offer designations as "Clean Marinas" by demonstrating a commitment implementing and maintaining a host of best management practices.
Benefits of becoming a designated Clean Marina include:
- Improving water quality in the Great Lakes
- Protecting fish and wildlife habitat
- Enhancing public image by promoting
environmentally-sound practices
