Throughout the course, BMPs from the Great Lakes Clean Marina Best Management Practice Guide<\/em> (BMP Guide) are indicated with a ![\"Regional](\"https:\/\/www.michiganseagrant.org\/clean-marina-classroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2013\/04\/regional-BMP-checkbox-green-transparent.png\")
<\/a>symbol. The BMP Guide consists of an inventory of common marina and boatyard best management practices used in the certification-based Clean Marina programs in the Great Lakes States. As you go through each section of this course considering which BMPs to implement at your marina, pay special attention to the BMPs with the green checkmark symbol; they are a good starting point.<\/p>\nThe State Laws<\/a> pages provide links and important information regarding laws and practices of each state. The Federal Laws<\/a> page provides an overview of major federal laws that apply to marina operations and maintenance. The Resources & Tools<\/a> page contains state-specific checklists, videos, the glossary and tip sheets. At the end of each unit, best management practices and major points are highlighted in a unit review.<\/p>\n To organize documents related to your training, you may want to create binder to assist you in organization of the materials pertaining to your certification effort. For example, the Michigan Clean Marina Program provides operators with a binder that includes tabs corresponding to each section of our checklist.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column
