Cedar Point Marina Certified as Maryland Clean Marina

Cedar Point Marina (Kent Narrows) is the first new Maryland Clean Marina of 2025. The owners recently removed a number of derelict vessels from the boatyard and repurposed building spaces to improve the property. To become a Clean Marina, they also properly disposed of old paint inventory, implemented procedures for mixing and using paints and solvents and started recycling boat shrinkwrap. Read more on the Maryland Department of Natural Resources’ website.

Haven Harbour South (Rock Hall) recently completed a major overhaul since changing ownership a few years ago. Pollution prevention practices at the facility include relocating liquid waste, such as used oil and antifreeze, further from the water, extensive staff training and improvements to their spill response kit. Read more on the DNR website. The new certifications bring the total number of Maryland Clean Marinas to 147. Find the full list on the Clean Marina webpage.
