The Ohio Clean Marinas Program is part of a multi-state project, Advancing Stormwater Management at Marinas in the Great Lakes, that developed an online toolkit with a suite of marina-specific resources on stormwater. As part of this toolkit, the project team created a decision support tool (DST) that will help marinas select the most appropriate green infrastructure (GI) practice for their site to manage stormwater, reduce nutrient and sediment loading, and stabilize shorelines of the Great Lakes. The DST will guide marinas through the process of selecting and installing GI through long-term management of the facility. Also as part of the project, Ohio Clean Marinas developed the Ideal Clean Marina Virtual Reality tool to help marinas visualize how stormwater best management practices can be implemented in a marina setting. Finally, an on-the-ground demonstration project of green infrastructure was installed and monitored at an Ohio Clean Marina. Join us to learn more about this project, the resources available, and ways to partner with the Ohio Clean Marinas Program to help increase the adoption of stormwater BMPs at marinas across Ohio.
