The Association of Marina Industries has certified 18 new marina personnel as Clean & Resilient Marina Professionals. This class came from all corners of the country and from marinas both large and small.
The participants completed a virtual course over four days in early April. 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.
The course was taught by industry leaders Margaret Boshek, Senior Coastal Engineer at Moffat & Nichol and Tom Delotto, Senior Director - Safety & Compliance at Suntex.
Upon receiving the CRMP designation, these professionals are eligible to self-certify their marinas as Clean and Resilient. Self-certification involves 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.
To date, AMI recognizes just 227 Certified Clean and Resilient Professionals and has accredited 76 Clean and Resilient Marinas.
The next CRMP courses will be held virtually in October. To sign up, visit here.
