Twelve Maryland marinas were presented with Governor’s Citation awards recently for being certified as Clean Marinas.
“Every Marylander has a role in helping to restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries,” Gov. Martin O’Malley said in a statement. “I want to commend these business owners for making a significant contribution to this effort.”
To receive certification, a marina must meet regulatory requirements as well as implement a number of recommendations from the Maryland Clean Marina Guidebook in areas such as sewage handling, waste containment and disposal, and marina management. The marinas must meet minimum scores – 75 to 80 percent – in each area of the Award Checklist and pass a site inspection.

* Annapolis City Dock
