Michigan Clean Marina Program

The Michigan Clean Marina Program is a cooperative effort of the Michigan Boating Industries Association and Michigan Sea Grant. As participants in the Michigan Clean Marina Program (CMP), marinas voluntarily pledge to maintain and improve Michigan’s waterways by reducing or eliminating releases of harmful substances and phasing out practices that can damage aquatic environments.  To date nearly 100 marinas have been awarded certification. Indian River Marina received certification as a Michigan Clean Marina in December 2019. Indian River Marina proudly flies a Michigan Clean Marina flag every day. Some of the benefits to becoming a certified Clean Marina include:

• Reducing pollution and improving water quality in the Great Lakes
• Protecting fish and wildlife habitat
• Enhancing public image by promoting environmentally sound practices
• Reducing costs by adopting best management practices
