The Bremerton Marina, operated by the Port of Bremerton, has become the 40th marina to be certified as a Clean Marina Washington participant.

The marina, which officially opened May 2008, leases moorage slips of 36 to 60 feet with additional side-tied moorage available for larger vessels. Guest moorage also is available year round.

The marina reviews its best management practices with new tenants and describes the actions the marina and tenants will use to preserve the marine environment. All moorage tenants must sign and agree to the principles outlined in the document.

“We promote environmental stewardship,” said Steve Slaton, director of Marine Facilities for the Port of Bremerton. “We have built a first-class facility with services that protect our environment from contaminates that would degrade our waters.”
