"These marinas work hard to protect our waterways and shores, standing out as leaders in environmental protection for our industry. We applaud what they do each day to ensure a bright boating future," said AMI board chairman, Rick Chapman.
The managers of each facility participated in a 2-day training event to become certified as Clean & Resilient Marina Professionals. The intensive course taught federal regulatory requirements, best management practices, and green techniques for operating a marina that places minimal impact on its natural surroundings and sets itself up to be resilient as the environment changes.
Upon receiving the CRMP designation, these professionals became eligible to self-certify their marinas as Clean & Resilient. Self-certification involved a lengthy review of all aspects of the marina facility and operations, submission of copies of federally required permits and plans, and a photo inventory of clean practices.
AMI's Clean & Resilient Marina advisory committee reviewed applications and approved accreditation of those who complied with the majority of items on the checklist, including all regulations.
