A Study on the Introduction of Green Marina Program in Korea

Concern about environmental substantiality and climate change has increased dramatically in the past decade and is affecting the way consumers behave. In Korea, much research on responses to the climate change is actively being conducted in various fields. Marinas and recreational boating are increasingly popular uses of coastal areas. Because marinas are located right along the water's edge, pollutants created by marina activities are released directly into the water. Although not one of the leading sources of polluted runoff, pollution from marinas can have a significant impact on local water quality. Therefore, is it important to promote operation and maintenance practices that will prevent pollution from entering coastal waterways. The Green Marina Programs help reduce pollution to coastal waters by encouraging environmentally friendly marina and boating practices. This Program offers many benefits to marina operators and coastal areas participating in the program. The Green Marina programme aims to promote sustainable environmental initiatives to help protect our coastal and inland marine areas for future generations to enjoy as we do today. Marina operators agree, everyone in the marine industry needs clean water and keeping it clean is just plain good business, protecting our water quality is up to each one of us.
