Abstract:

The national Clean Marina Program was adopted by North Carolina in 2000. \"To qualify,\" says Mike Lopazanski, N.C. Division of Coastal Management coastal and policy analyst, \"marina operators must demonstrate that they voluntarily employ the best management and operation techniques that go beyond and above regulatory requirements.\" Marinas that fly the Clean Marina Flag signal to all that they are safeguarding the environment. Dalton's Yacht Service, Inc., located on Whitaker Creek in Oriental, was the first marina in the state to receive the Clean Marina designation.
