The Michigan Boating Industries Association, Michigan Sea Grant College Program and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality joined forces several years ago in a unique and productive partnership to help the marina industry implement voluntary environmental best management practices. The partnership has been expanded to include the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth. The result: the Michigan Clean Marina Program, which has certified 33 marinas and harbors as Michigan Clean Marinas.  An additional 43 facilities have pledged and are working toward certification.
