Marina Documents
This is a list of marina documents -- most notably BMP manuals -- that the
Nonpoint Source Control Branch at EPA headquarters has found to be especially
well done.

Environmental and Business Success Stories
Marinas and recreational boating are very popular uses of coastal water. The
growth of recreational boating, along with the growth of coastal development in
general, has led to a growing awareness of the need to protect the
environmental quality of our waterways. This study focuses on the econmic
benefits realized by marina managers who have implemented management measures
at their marinas.
