Marina Technical & Environmental Advisory Committee

A Marina Technical and Environmental Advisory Committee, made up of representatives from state agencies, the marine trade industry and the recreational boating and environmental communities, provides guidance to the Virginia Clean Marina Program and assists in providing information and technical assistance to marinas, local governments and recreational boaters in Virginia's coastal areas.

The committee developed a guidebook for marinas - Virginia Clean Marina Guidebook - that provides steps marina operators and recreational boaters can take to protect and improve Virginia's coastal waters.

The committee also assists in the program's marina designation process and works with the Virginia Marina Technical Advisory Specialist. For general information about the program, please call 804-684-7768.
