Pollution Prevention Marinas Project

New Hampshire is fortunate to have some of the highest quality water in the United States. Water-based recreation is one of the state’s primary industries and its economic success is dependent upon a healthy environment. Marinas are a valuable part of this industry, providing important services for boat owners such as maintenance and repair, fueling for boats, and winter storage.

Environmental regulations are necessary to control the amount of pollution potentially released to our lakes, rivers and seacoast. Seeking to reduce or eliminate pollutants through regulatory and volunteer measures is the key to keeping our water bodies clean. Marinas can help. By becoming more efficient in the use of raw materials, marinas can reduce pollution and waste, and save money.
