Egg Harbor Marina.

Egg Harbor Marina is Wisconsin’s newest Clean Marina recognized by the Wisconsin Marina Association.

The newly renovated $6 million municipal harbor of refuge was honored on December 6^th for their commitment to protecting water quality by adopting best management practices for their facility (BMPs). The marina includes a state-of-the-art green infrastructure that manages stormwater and an 800 ft. breakwater that offers scenic views of the lake.

“This award means the Egg Harbor Marina is using good management practices, sustaining our livelihood, and preserving the waters for future generations,” said Nicole Krauel, the village’s assistant harbor master.

In only 18 months, Wisconsin has recognized 17 other marinas with the Clean Marina certification. All Wisconsin certified marinas have voluntarily adopted up to 100 best management practices (BMPs) to become certified. These marinas implemented new practices to protect water quality, prevent pollution, and protect fish, wildlife, and public health.

“This demonstrates to our customers a level of care and concern about the quality of their boating, fishing, and swimming experience and that we recognize that our role and responsibility in their experience goes beyond providing slips, boat launches and scenic views,” said Josh Van Lieshout, administrator of the Village of Egg Harbor.

The award process involved an extensive review of the marina’s building and operation and concluded with a three-hour meeting between the Village of Egg Harbor and officials from the Wisconsin Marina Association.

“We believe in doing the right thing for the environment and this recognition designates us as a premier marina,” said Harbor Committee Chair Bob Dickson.

The two other Door County Clean Marinas include Skipper Bud’s Quarter Deck and Harbor Club Marinas.
