To learn about earning the Clean Marina Certification, visit the Maryland Department of Natural Resources website,  and email donna.morrow@maryland.gov with any questions and to schedule an informal site visit.

The Maryland Clean Marina Program also provides a number of resources for marinas to determine their vulnerability to flooding, and to prepare for severe weather.  Visit  the webpage for more information.

As example, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources recently released the Maryland Coastal Flood Explorer, a user-friendly and interactive mapper that allows marinas and others to visualize predicted high tide flooding, sea-level rise projections and historic flooding events for all of Maryland’s coastal areas.

Any resident can go to the Flood Explorer, enter an address and explore various flood risk scenarios around their property as well as within their broader community.
