About the Project

A team from the Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin Sea Grant programs, as well as the Ohio State University, are part of a three-year project to help marinas make their facilities more environmentally sustainable by harnessing the power of green infrastructure (GI).

The project, titled “Advancing Stormwater Management at Marinas in the Great Lakes,” has created this decision-support toolkit to help marina owners and operators choose feasible and effective green stormwater management strategies that fit their facility. The project also includes installation of green infrastructure practices at select marinas located in the Great Lakes Basin.

This project team was awarded funds in 2018 by the Great Lakes Protection Fund, an endowment established by seven states in 1989 to support projects that restore or enhance Great Lakes ecosystem health.
