Green Initiatives

(Columbia Island Marina)

The Green Marina Initiative promotes and celebrates voluntary adoption of measures to reduce waste and prevent pollution from marinas, boatyards and recreational boats. Designated “Green Marinas” are recognized as environmentally-responsible businesses.

As the first step toward achieving Green Marina status, Columbia Island Marina pledges to do our part to keep the District of Columbia’s waterways free of harmful chemicals, excess nutrients and debris.

We will identify opportunities and implement practices to control pollution associated with:

• Vessel maintenance and repair
• Petroleum storage and transfer
• Sewage disposal
• Hazardous and non-hazardous wastes
• Stormwater runoff
• Facilities management.

We are committed to actively pursuing full standing as a Green Marina.
