Nominate Edgewater Harbors for DNR Clean Marina Contest

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is accepting nominations for its second annual Maryland Clean Marina of the Year contest.

Through resident nominations, the DNR wants to know which marina throughout Maryland is the absolute best in regards to cleanliness and environmental sensitivity.

Herrington Harbour in Deale took home the award last year, but will face competition from other local marinas throughout Edgewater and south county.  

“Our goal is to hear from boaters, marine contractors, staff and citizens on the Maryland Clean Marinas that are excelling in their efforts to run a clean facility,” said DNR Program Coordinator Donna Morrow. “This contest celebrates the excellent work of these businesses in protecting our natural resources and complying with often complex regulations.”

Nominations for the Maryland Clean Marina of the Year contest should maintain a high standard in the following areas:

• Overall cleanliness of the facility, both indoors and outdoors
• Environmental services offered
• Communicating and enforcing clean marine practices and goals to customers and contractors through rules, signs and services

Any local marina can be nominated for the award and applications are accepted up until Jan. 4, 2013.
