The Clean Boater Program

The cumulative impact of the approximately 165,000 recreational boats on Long Island Sound can be considerable. This is why it is important for each boater to share the responsibility for keeping our water clean.

Clean water and clean air make boating experiences more enjoyable. By becoming aware of some of the environmental hazards that are associated with boating. Combined with using sound environmental boating practices, you can help protect our resources. This ensures the future health of Connecticut’s waters.

As a companion to the Clean Marina Program, the Clean Boater Program encourages the state’s boaters to learn about and implement clean boating techniques.
