Clean Marina Program
The South Carolina Clean Marina Program provides a unique opportunity for marina owners and operators to improve their customer services, protect water quality and be recognized for their efforts. By meeting prescribed environmental performance criteria, marinas can qualify to fly the Clean Marina flag to attract recreational and transient boaters to their facility.
South Carolina’s Clean Marina program is part of an international effort along with 24 other states and territories to use best management practices to protect and improve water quality at marinas. The program is administered by the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management and the South Carolina Marine Association.
For information, please contact the SC Marine Association at 843-889-9067.
NOTICE: PLEASE HOLD YOUR CLEAN MARINA APPLICATIONS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Your patience will be appreciated while the SCMA and DHEC-OCRM works on making improvements for implementing the Clean Marina Program. We are revising the checklist, instructions, and procedures to clarify what parts of the program are mandatory, what parts are voluntary, what documentation is needed, and how to calculate your score. We will also develop a workshop that will be a required part of the application process, aimed at familiarizing the marinas and boatyards in what the checklist requirements mean and how extensively those must be met. And we will be training Clean Marina inspectors to standardize the inspection process.
If you are planning to submit an application for Clean Marina or Clean Boatyard status, please wait until the revised checklist and program are announced. Again, we appreciate your patience. For comments or questions, please contact Curtis Joyner at joynercm@dhec.sc.gov or 843-953-0205.
