About this Event

The SC Clean Marina Program is a voluntary certification program that recognizes marinas for helping to create a cleaner marine environment in South Carolina by implementing best practices to protect and improve local water quality. Workshop participants will learn about the program, the steps to certification, and how to get their marinas ready for site visits. This training class is required for certification and recertification.

Registration is required and the cost is $100. For marinas new to the program, this fee can be applied toward the total cost of SC Clean Marina certification ($250). For marinas already part of the program, the $100 registration fee covers the recertification process.

Payment process: checks only, payable to the SC Sea Grant Consortium. The mailing address is 287 Meeting Street, Charleston, SC 29401.
