Virtual Clean & Resilient Marina Course
August 5 2024 from 12:00 pm - August 13 2024 from 4:00 pm
About the Course:
Launched in 2022, AMI Training Institute’s newest training opportunity, the Clean & Resilient Marina Course, aims to certify operators in clean and green marina practices and environmental regulatory compliance. It is the first step in your marina becoming an AMI Accredited Clean and Resilient Marina facility through AMI’s Clean and Resilient Marina Program. The goal is to expand the number of marina operators who are recognized stewards of the environment and working to keep our waterways and shores pollution-free.
Those who complete the 2½ day training will receive AMI’s Clean & Resilient Marina Professional certification, announcing to their customers, peers, and regulators that they have met the requirements for operating an eco-friendly facility.
In addition, once certified, Clean & Resilient Marina Professionals will be able to self-certify their facilities as AMI Clean & Resilient Marinas. Maine Marine Trades Association has accepted this national program as the industry program for Maine.
