Marinas

Take the pledge, follow the best practices, become a Ohio Clean Marina!

The Ohio Clean Marinas Program is a proactive partnership designed to encourage marinas and boaters to use simple, innovative solutions to keep Ohio’s coastal and inland waterway resources clean. The program assists in protecting clean water and fresh air for generations of boaters to come.

Take The Clean Marinas Pledge

Boaters

Put the clean boating philosophy into action and take the Clean Boater pledge!

The Ohio Clean Boater Program promotes environmental stewardship by making boaters more aware of the environmental impact of boating activities, getting as many boaters as possible to follow best boater practices and designating them as “Clean Boaters.”
