MARINA INDUSTRY LEADERS

MARINA INDUSTRY LEADERS - Tali Engoitz, a representative of the New Jersey DEP Coastal Management Office and Freeholder Joseph H. Vicari discuss the New Jersey Clean Marina program through which marinas voluntarily agree to meet standards of good management practices above and beyond current state regulations to help protect coastal water and air quality. Out of approximately 500 marinas in the state, only nine have been certified to date. Of those, seven are in Ocean County: Green Cove Marina, Brick, Silver Cloud Harbor Marina, and Forked River State Marina, both Forked River, Dillon's Creek Marina, Island Heights Marina, Spencer's Bayside Marina, Waretown and Robbie's Loveladies Marina. Freeholder Vicari said, "We can't talk about clean waterways without the support of our marina industry. I'm am really proud that these Ocean County marinas are leaders in that effort."
