MARINA

According to the National Marine Manufacturing Association, there are nearly 17 million boats and more than 11,000 marinas and boatyards operating across the United States. To help protect recreational waterways from the risk of spills, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has issued a series of best practices guidelines for marina operators and recreational boaters.

Boater Education

Much of the responsibility for spill prevention lies with the recreational boater. Marina operators can help boaters stay abreast of the latest best practices, safety tips and used-oil recycling options by providing bulletin boards that display relevant information.
