About the Indiana Clean Marina Program
The Indiana Clean Marina Program was developed in an effort to protect our state’s inland and coastal waterways by reducing the potential environmental impacts associated with marinas and recreational boating. The Indiana Clean Marina Program is a collaborative effort by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, marinas, boatyards, yacht clubs, and recreational boaters. Development of the Indiana Clean Marina Program was made possible with financial assistance awarded to the Lake Michigan Coastal Program by the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under a Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, Section 310 grant and piloted in the Lake Michigan Coastal Program area in May of 2008. Funding for the Clean Marina Program has primarily been made available through the U.S. EPA Lake Michigan Lakewide Action and Management Plan (LAMP) capacity funding that is provided annually to IDEM through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI).
