(Oct. 26, 2023) Three coastal Georgia marinas were certified Wednesday for meeting the requirements of the Georgia Clean Marina Program, a voluntary program recognizing marinas that reduce or eliminate the pollution of waterways during daily marina operations. Delegal Creek Marina of Savannah, Savannah Boathouse Marina of Savannah, and Barbour River Yacht Club of Darien joined the program for their commitment to environmental stewardship through the implementation of Clean Marina best management practices (BMPs). The recently revised Georgia Clean Marina Program is administered through a partnership between Georgia Department of Natural Resources Coastal Resources Division (CRD), University of Georgia Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant, and the Georgia Marine Business Association (GAMBA). |
