Resources
Many resources are available to coastal marinas that choose to install green infrastructure on their properties. Information on funding sources, such as applicable state and federal grants, can help defray costs. Lists of contractors with experience working with green infrastructure can be invaluable. Names and contact information of support specialists can provide guidance on project installation. Lastly, several online tools outline operation and maintenance plans to guide day-to-day GI operations. Links to these resources and more are located within this section of the Clean Marinas Decision Support Tool.
