The Ohio Clean Marinas Program is an effort that was launched in 2004 to help marinas protect Lake Erie from air and water pollution generated by recreational boating marina boat service operations.
After a year of creating a guidebook that covered best management practices to achieve compliance with regulations, assisted by a Clean Marinas Advisory Board, the first “Clean Marina” was certified in 2005. Since then, more than 70 Lake Erie marinas have signed up.
