Ohio Clean Marinas Program

The Ohio Clean Marinas Program (OCMP) is a proactive partnership designed to encourage marinas and boaters to use simple, innovative solutions to keep Ohio's coastal and inland waterway resources clean. The program assists the operators in protecting the resources that provide their livelihood - clean water and fresh air.The basic goal of the program is environmental stewardship by making marinas and boaters more aware of environmental laws, rules and jurisdictions, and to get as many marinas as possible to follow best management practices and to be designated as "Clean Marinas."
