The Michigan Clean Marina Program celebrates 20 years of stewardship in 2025.
This long-running, successful program is a non-regulatory partner program between the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, Michigan Sea Grant and Michigan Boating Industries Association.
Three marinas were pioneers of the program and the first to be certified back in 2005: MacRay Harbor in Harrison Township, Safe Harbor Belle Maer in Harrison Township, and Walstrom Marine in Harbor Springs. These marinas were recognized for this achievement during the Progressive Metro Boat Show at Lake St. Clair Metropark this September. To date, 104 marinas are certified in Michigan, known as one of the most successful clean marina programs in the country.
As participants in the Michigan Clean Marina Program, 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.
