Clean Marinas - Clear Value - Environmental and Business Success Stories
Marinas and recreational boating are very popular uses of coastal water. The growth of recreational boating, along with the growth of coastal development in general, has led to a growing awareness of the need to protect the environmental quality of our waterways. This study focuses on the econmic benefits realized by marina managers who have implemented management measures at their marinas.
