Residents and visitors alike are drawn to the
exceptional diversity and value of New Jersey’s marine and aquatic
resources, including the Atlantic coastline, the Delaware River and
Bay, freshwater lakes, tidal mudflats and deep ocean waters. DEP has
developed a statewide Clean Marina Program to protect these critical
habitat areas that are home to a variety of species including algae,
plankton, shellfish and finfish. The program encourages marina
owners, yacht clubs, boatyards and boaters to adopt practices that
help prevent adverse impacts to water quality, sensitive habitats
and living resources in proximity to marinas.
Swimming, boating and fishing are important uses of
New Jersey’s coastal waters. Recreational boating is becoming more
popular each year. The Clean Marina Program will help prevent
harmful environmental practices through education and outreach to
boaters and marina owners. The program provides assistance and
guidance to reduce the sources and impacts of nonpoint source
pollution, including sewage facility management, fueling operations,
fish and solid waste management and boat cleaning.
