Clean Marina Washington was created in 2005 as an expansion of the EnviroStars program, which provides incentives for businesses to reduce and better manage their hazardous waste. Clean Marina Washington is an incentive-based certification program in which marinas assess their operations and implement improvements to better protect the environment. When they reach the qualification standards of Clean Marina Washington they earn the right to "fly the flag."
Sample projects:
Install bilge water collection facility
Maintain records of Hazardous Waste disposal
Institute Environmentally Friendly Purchasing
Support a Local Beach Clean-up
Educate Boaters on Environmentally-friendly boat maintenance
Provide Oil Spill materials on docks and to tenants
Customers that are interested in, or selected us because of our EnviroStars
certification are some of our best tenants - they pay bills on time, keep
their slips in good shape, and are conscientious about clean boating
practices. - Susan Forsythe, Foss Marina
Elliott Bay Marina Elliott Bay Marina has helped pave the way for a new kind of thinking.
