The Clean Texas Marina Program recognizes operators of public and private marinas who voluntarily meet high standards that help keep Texas waterways clean. To be certified as a Clean Texas Marina, the operator must:

1. submit a pledge form,
2. complete a self-assessment using a checklist,
3. be sure the marina is complying with all applicable laws and regulations, and
4. when ready, schedule an on-site confirmation visit with the Texas Sea Grant.

Operators can use these forms and documents, which are all in PDF format to make their facilities qualify as a Clean Texas Marina.
